1 " Who should we be trying to make the most proud? Our family? Our friends? Our teachers or bosses? What about the one who molded us out of the earth itself, who formed us like clay, and instilled within us the very breath of life that shaped the universe? "
― James D. Maxon
2 " If you measure your life by what you own, the cavern of your heart will never be filled. "
3 " Fantasy is an excellent platform to shine new lights on old truths. "
4 " In the story of life, the prologue and epilogue are written by God. Yet the plot has been given to us; therefore we should write the best prose we can. "
5 " Fiction gives us a reach into the lives of individuals that would otherwise be but a closed door. If we are gifted with a desire to tell tales, then we should tell them . . . if only to reach but a few. "
6 " Heart isn’t something you find in soap operas and Harlequin novels. It’s that pure essence–sheltered deep inside–that occasionally makes its way to the surface. Give heed lest it ever trend to waste. "
7 " Good fiction is not defined by the masses, but by the tentative ear. "
8 " A great writer weaves words like a painter mixes colors. "
9 " If writing didn't create emotional risk, then it wouldn't be worth doing. "
