Brandon Sanderson
I'm convinced that responsibility is some kind of psychological disease.
Brandon Sanderson
Be warned - Hammond does tend to be a bit optimistic about these kind of things. If the army were made up of one-legged mutes, he would praise their balance and their listening skills.
Brandon Sanderson
Remember that your job as a practicing writer is to remember it's never going to be perfect on your first pass.
