• Keep language in harmony with your character’s situations. They get insight you wouldn’t have. Amor Towles
• Don’t worry about not perfect work. Men have not been stopped by that.     Elizabeth Gilbert
• Know the city in the era, inside and out, what they eat, listen to, do for fun.        Chris Cleave
• Identify your pain. Have no message. Don’t argue your case. Just entertain.       Maria Semple
• So much of my writing feels like well-digging…everyday I search for water.          Yaa Gyasi
