What Do You Tell A

Never Use A Verb Other Than "said" To Carry Dialogue... I Once Noticed Mary Mccarthy Ending A Line Of Dialogue With "she Asseverated" And Had To Stop Reading And Go To The Dictionary.

I Think Any Writer Is A Fool If He Doesn't Do It For Money. There Needs To Be Some Kind Of Incentive In Addition To The Project. It All Goes Together. It's Fun To Sit There And Think Of Characters And Get Them Into Action, Then Be Paid For It. I Can't Believe It When Writers Tell Me 'i Don't Want To Show My Work To Anybody'.

I Don't Have Any Of The Modern Stuff. I Don't Have E-mail. I Don't Have A Computer!

I'm Not Going To Write For Posterity. I'm Going To Write To Make A Buck.

To Me, Writing Is The Most Fun. It's Not Always Fun, But Finally When You Make It Come Out The Way You Want, It's Then You Can Say, 'it's Fun, Boy.'
