“I try to write about the stuff that torments us all.” – Danielle Steel

“All stories interest me, and some haunt me until I end up writing them.” – Isabel Allende

“Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.” – Barbara Kingsolver

“Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them.” – Orson Scott Card

“If you stuff yourself full of poems, essays, plays, stories, novels, films, comic strips, magazines, music, you automatically explode every morning like Old Faithful. I have never had a dry spell in my life, mainly because I feed myself well, to the point of bursting. I wake early and hear my morning voices leaping around in my head like jumping beans. I get out of bed to trap them before they escape.” – Ray Bradbury
