Writing a novel is a terrible experience, during which the hair often falls out and the teeth decay.
Faith is what someone knows to be true, whether they believe it or not.
Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher.
To expect too much is to have a sentimental view of life and this is a softness that ends in bitterness.
When a book leaves your hands, it belongs to God. He may use it to save a few souls or to try a few others, but I think that for the writer to worry is to take over God's business.
The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it.
