"Every story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end...but not necessarily in that order."

- Jean-Luc Godard


"The writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master - something that at times strangely wills and works for itself."

Asimov and Wharton for Writing Quote Time

"A classic is classic not because it conforms to certain structural rules, or fits certain definitions (of which its author had quite probably never heard). It is classic because of a certain eternal and irrepressible freshness."
- Edith Wharton


"You must keep sending work out; you must never let a manuscript do nothing but eat its head off in a drawer. You send that work out again and again, while you're working on another one. If you have talent, you will receive some measure of success...but only if you persist."
- Isaac Asimov
