Definition of a wanderer: a guy who's always looking beyond.
Stephen King
I did a couple of writing seminars in Canada with high school kids. These were the bright kids they all have computers, but they can't spell. Because spell-check won't [help] you if you don't know through from threw. I told them, If you can read in the 21st century, you own the world. Because you learn to write from reading.
Stephen King
Writing is a lonely job. Having someone who believes in you makes a lot if difference. They don't have to makes speeches. Just believing is usually enough.
