“What isn’t said is as important as what is said.”
“Write what you know.”
“I’m just trying to keep things rich for me creatively and for the readers who follow me.”
“Early in my career, I figured out that I just have to write the book I have to write at that moment. Whatever else is going on in the culture is just not that important. If you could get the culture to write your book, that would be great. But the culture can’t write your book.”
