Anne McCaffrey
I didn't mean to stay up all night to finish Windhaven, but I had to!
Anne McCaffrey
I wouldn't encourage new writers to start off publishing through electronic media... it still isn't wide enough for the readership they would need to get a good start
Anne McCaffrey
Who wills, Can. Who tries, Does. Who loves, Lives.
Anne McCaffrey
I do outlines when I'm writing with someone, but they also need to have a certain amount of freedom
Anne McCaffrey
Because we build the worlds we wouldn't mind living in. They contain scary things, problems, but also a sense of rightness that makes them alive and makes us want to live there.
Anne McCaffrey
The thing is, emotion - if it's visibly felt by the writer - will go through all the processes it takes to publish a story and still hit the reader right in the gut. But you have to really mean it.
Anne McCaffrey
