“To write well is to spend hours on a paragraph your reader will breeze through in an instant. A good writer will spend a day painting the corner of a billboard just off the shoulder of an interstate. Nobody will ever know if it’s done right. But they will know if it’s wrong. Don’t do it wrong. The great writers stay another hour.”

“Stories that you read when you’re the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you’ll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely visit.” ~M is for Magic, Neil Gaiman
