My Experience Has Been That

Using A First-person Narrator Is Simply A Matter Of Hearing The Voice Inside Yourself.

Writing Is Like Being In Love. You Never Get Better At It Or Learn More About It. The Day You Think You Do Is The Day You Lose It. Robert Frost Called His Work A Lover's Quarrel With The World. It's Ongoing. It Has Neither A Beginning Nor An End. You Don't Have To Worry About Learning Things. The Fire Of One's Art Burns All The Impurities From The Vessel That Contains It.

You Do It A Day At A Time. You Just Put Your Rejection Slips In A Shoebox And Tell Yourself One Day You're Going To Autograph Them And Sell Them At Auction.

And Every Good Artist Knows That The Gift Comes From Somewhere Else, And It's There For A Reason, And That's To Make The World A Better Place.

Humility Is Not A Virtue In A Writer, It Is An Absolute Necessity.
