That's all that really matters in the end. Stories.
Patrick Rothfuss
I'd like to work with some of the videogame companies for the simple fact that they obviously need some sort of writer's help. I play videogames, and lately it's hard for me to enjoy them because I'm spending all my time cringing at the corny dialogue, thin characters, and glaring plot holes.
Patrick Rothfuss
Too much truth confuses the facts. Too much honesty makes you sound insincere.
Patrick Rothfuss
Whenever you write a character, you want to make them themselves, you want to make them unique. You don't want fifty characters in your book and they all pretty much act and think the same except they have different colored hair.
Patrick Rothfuss
Truth is a troublesome motherfucker unless it's handled properly

One of my favorite artists on Deviantart.

She looked at me. What? Is there something wrong with my idea? It's not very heroic, I said dismissively. I was expecting something with a little more flair. Well, I left my armor and warhorse at home, she said. You're just upset because your big University brain couldn't think of a way, and my plan is brilliant.

I always read. You know how sharks have to keep swimming or they die? I’m like that. If I stop reading, I die.

I think the tendency to over-explain and over describe is one of the most common failings in fantasy. It's an unfortunate piece of Tolkien's legacy. Don't get me wrong, Tolkien was a great worldbuilder, but he got a little caught up describing his world at times, at the expense of the overall story.
Patrick Rothfuss
I have a blog where I keep in touch with my fans. I write about things that are important to me. Sometimes on there I'll just tell a little story about the things that happen in my everyday life. People seem to enjoy them well enough.

This is the nature of love. Vashet said. To attempt to describe it will drive a woman mad. This is what keeps poets scribbling endlessly away. If one could pin it to paper all complete, the others would lay down their pens. But it cannot be done.
Patrick Rothfuss
Unfortunately, a lot of fantasy is chock full of sexism and racism. A lot of authors don't even realize they're doing it, and a lot of readers don't know they're reading it. That's what makes it so scary in some cases.
Patrick Rothfuss
Stories only happen to people who can tell them.
Patrick Rothfuss
Just handle the books gently and you’ll get along fine.
Patrick Rothfuss
I can't count the men who have tried to seduce me away from my virtue by teaching me how to defend it.
Patrick Rothfuss
I’d heard he had started a fistfight in one of the seedier local taverns because someone had insisted on saying the word “utilize” instead of “use.
Patrick Rothfuss
I have, of course, been called many other things. Most of them uncouth, although very few were unearned
Patrick Rothfuss
The truth is I've worked a lot of things people would consider shitty jobs but I've never really hated any of them.
Patrick Rothfuss
After a certain point is reached the numbers cease to matter, and all that remains is the faceless mass of a crowd.
Patrick Rothfuss
The truth is that the world is full of dragons, and none of us are as powerful or cool as we’d like to be. And that sucks. But when you’re confronted with that fact, you can either crawl into a hole and quit, or you can get out there, take off your shoes, and Bilbo it up.
