Some Excerpts

Read a lot and study other people's styles, then come up with your own. Don't try to be the new Shakespeare, and do not write a book just because you want to be published. Write because you are inspired and can't live without it.

The first draft. I usually write until I drop and get everything on paper. It's an amazing feeling, almost a feeling of freedom. It's usually exhausting emotionally and intellectually because I try to put a lot of myself in my stories, but I love it.

Loved the show. It was entertaining to watch. It hasn't changed my life or my way of thinking or anything, but I definitely would go back and watch some of the episodes.
