The biggest advice is being true to what you want to do. Don't worry if other people understand it or don't understand it. If what you're doing has merit, it will find its way.

More quotes by Dean Koontz
Not all or even most suffering is at the hands of fate it befalls us at our invitation.
Dean Koontz
There's never any humongous next draft. I know a writer who every time he finished a novel - you would know his name very well - but his editor would come and live with him for a month. And they would go through the manuscript together.
Dean Koontz
Fate cannot be sidestepped or outrun.
Dean Koontz
The process, not the final achievement, is what it's all about.
Dean Koontz
No degree of prosperity can be sufficient to eliminate all misfortune, and sloth is impervious to opportunity.
Dean Koontz
Humanity was drawn to turmoil and self-destruction as inevitably as the earth was drawn to complete its annual revolution of the sun.
Dean Koontz
If we were capable of thinking of everything, we would still be living in Eden, rent-free with all-you-can-eat buffets and infinitely better daytime TV programming.
Dean Koontz
If we were always conscious of the fact that people precious to us are frighteningly mortal, hanging not even by a thread, but by a wisp of gossamer, perhaps we would be kinder to them and more grateful for the love and friendship they give to us.
Dean Koontz
the worst happens when you least expect it
Dean Koontz
In self-defense and in defense of the innocent, cowardice is the only sin.
Dean Koontz
You can con God and get away with it, Granny said, if you do so with charm and wit. If you live your life with imagination and verve, God will play along just to see what outrageously entertaining thing you'll do next.
Dean Koontz
Vladimir Nabokov said the two great evils of the 20th century were Marx and Freud. He was absolutely correct.
Dean Koontz
The broom wasn't as comforting as a flamethrower would have been, but it was better than a mop and certainly more threatening than a feather duster.
Dean Koontz
Night has patterns that can be read less by the living than by the dead.
Dean Koontz
Although the constant shadow of certain death looms over everyday, the pleasures and joys of life can be so fine and affecting that the heart is nearly stilled in astonishment.
Dean Koontz
All I ask of Fate is that the people she hurls into my life, whether they are evil or good, or morally bipolar, should be amusing to one degree or another.... The problem is finding smile-inducing evil people, because the evil are the most humorless, though in the movies they frequently get some of the best lines.
Dean Koontz
... one of those librarians who rules the stacks with an intimidating scowl, whispers quiet sharply enough to lacerate the tender inner tissues of the ear, and will pursue an overdue-book fine with the ferocity of a rabid ferret.
Dean Koontz
Hope is the destination that we seek. Love is the road that leads to hope. Courage is the motor that drives us. We travel out of darkness into faith.
Dean Koontz
While I like people, I do also like being alone in a room and seeing what you can do with a particular theme or subject.
Dean Koontz
We need to laugh at the irrationality of evil, for in doing so we deny evil's power over us, diminish its influence in the world, and tarnish the allure it has for some people.
