"We fabricate your truth and tell your lies
that a reader may hold you friend or foe
and that your story brackets them with sighs
we do this to share something beautiful
it's not for wealth or fame we give our time
but the burning to pen the words won't slow
yet how cruel to never earn a dime"--Steaphan Kay#AuthorQuotes #IndieAuthor #Author #Writer #WritersCoffeeClub #Writing #WritingCommunity

'As for ‘Write what you know,' I was regularly told this as a beginner. I think it's a very good rule and have always obeyed it. I write about imaginary countries, alien societies on other planets, dragons, wizards, the Napa Valley in 22002. I know these things. I know them better than anybody else possibly could, so it's my duty to testify about them.' – Ursula K. Le Guin

"Storytellers are a threat. They threaten all champions of control, they frighten usurpers of the right-to-freedom of the human spirit -- in state, in church or mosque, in party congress, in the university or wherever."--Chinua Achebe

"Show people your stuff, listen carefully to their responses, but ultimately don't value anyone's opinion above your own. Be influenced by writers you dislike as well as writers you like. Read their stuff to figure out what's wrong. Find a balance between the confidence that allows you continue, and the self-critical facility that enables you to improve. Get the balance wrong on either side, and you're screwed."--Alex Garland

Salman Rushdie, discussing why he has never written an apolitical book:
"Sometimes your character is not your destiny. Sometimes a plane flying into a building is your destiny. The larger world gets into the story not because I want to write about politics, but because I want to write about people."

George Saunders on the role of editing in his work and potentially yours, which he describes as "freakification":
“What if we understood ‘editing’ not to be “correcting” but ‘revealing’ – revealing a new voice. And not a voice that we are ‘aiming for’ or that ‘sounds like us,’ in which we ‘tell our truths,’ but just one that is more interesting? Harder to ignore?"

"Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand." George Orwell
Your mileage may vary on Orwell's sentiment. For me, mostly true.
