Anne Rice, on writing:


Go where the pleasure is in your writing.
Go where the pain is.
Write the book you would like to read.
Write the book you have been trying to find but have not found.
But write.
And remember, there are no rules for our profession.
Ignore rules.
Ignore what I say here if it doesn't help you.
Do it your own way.
Every writer knows fear and discouragement.
Just write.
The world is crying for new writing.
It is crying for fresh and original voices and new characters and new stories.
If you won't write the classics of tomorrow, well, we will not have any.
- Anne Rice
