Text Quotes
It feels wonderful to get praise from other authors who I admire, but with each new book, my confidence is always the thing I struggle with the most until I start getting positive feedback from readers.  (Chevy Stevens Quotes) Unfortunately, there’s still a lot of beginning writers who think you can just write your first draft and hand it in.  (Chevy Stevens Quotes) As much as writing is an emotional experience, it is a business as well. Coming from a business background, I treat it as such.  (Chevy Stevens Quotes) I was supposed to be cleaning out the barn, but I was usually reading romance novels. That’s how you grow up to be a thriller writer.  (Chevy Stevens Quotes) When I started ‘Still Missing,’ I had a few key plot points in mind, which I played around with mentally for a couple of months, then one day I just started writing. Not having an outline led to some cool plot twists, but also many rewrites! A lot of the plotting happened on subsequent drafts.  (Chevy Stevens Quotes) Before I start a book, I talk over my characters with a friend who is a counselor. I like to make sure I have the right dynamics in place and understand each character’s belief system, fears, coping mechanisms and things like that.  (Chevy Stevens Quotes) Each day when I’m walking with my dog through the damp forest, I’m thinking about the atmosphere, and it often works its way into my next scene somehow.  (Chevy Stevens Quotes) I didn’t go to university or get a degree, but I hired somebody as a mentor - and that I considered my university education.  (Chevy Stevens Quotes) I try to only read light things when I’m working on my books, and in the evenings I watch a lot of mindless TV. I have to break up the ‘dark,’ or I wouldn’t be a very happy person.  (Chevy Stevens Quotes)
