More quotes by Patrick Rothfuss
I don't really have a lot of expensive tastes. What else am I really going to do with my money? Buy a little red sports car? Wear a lot of jewelry? Build a castle? Well... I might do the last one. Maybe. Eventually. But that doesn't mean I can't run Worldbuilders too.
Patrick Rothfuss
What I'd love more than anything is for Worldbuilders to continue to grow and become entangled in all the different corners of the geek community.

If you fall, you fall, Elodin shrugged. Sometimes falling teaches us things too. In dreams you often fall before you wake.

Patrick Rothfuss
I think one of the biggest mistakes you can make as a writer is to follow your initial [writing] plan too stringently. A story needs room to grow and evolve.
Patrick Rothfuss

In brief, worldbuilding is different than setting in my opinion. Setting is a room. A backdrop. It's scenery. But without good worldbuilding, you can't have realistic feeling scenery. You can't have cool, unique backdrops for your story.

If the beard gives a modifier to seduction, I'm guessing it's not a positive one.
Patrick Rothfuss
It's my belief that you should never show your work to anyone in the publishing world until it shines like a diamond. Rough drafts don't shine, as a rule. Mine certainly didn't. That's why I was rejected for years and years.
Patrick Rothfuss
I always read. You know how sharks have to keep swimming or they die? I’m like that. If I stop reading, I die.
Patrick Rothfuss
I take back everything I ever said about that boy being clever. He turned around to face the bar while leveling an accusatory finger at the closed door. That, he said firmly to the room in general, is what comes of working with iron every day.
Patrick Rothfuss
I decided to dub the room with the good chairs my lutery. Or perhaps my performatory. I would need a while to come up with something suitably pretentious.
Patrick Rothfuss
I was nervous about writing Slow Regard.

But sometimes the best help a person can find is helping someone else.
