God's Ways And His Will Come In

Remember To Say What You Mean, But Don't Say It Meanly.

Lots Of People Want To Have Written; They Don't Want To Write. In Other Words, They Want To See Their Name On The Front Cover Of A Book And Their Grinning Picture On The Back. But This Is What Comes At The End Of A Job, Not At The Beginning.

Be Critical Of But Not Brutal With Your Writing. If Something Isn't Essential, Get Rid Of It. Remember That Good Dialogue Can Serve A Whole Passel Of Purposes In Your Novel, And To Overlook One Of Them Is To Overlook One Of The Tools Of The Craft. Like Hitting A Nail With A Screwdriver, If You Know What I Mean.

Expectations Destroy Our Peace Of Mind. They Are Future Disappointments, Planned Out In Advance.

One Did Not Alter Lives And Simply Walk Away From The Damage.
