Insecure people have a special sensitivity for anything that finally confirms their own low opinion of themselves.
Sue Grafton
Image
You write one book and you're ready for fame and fortune. I don't know that people are spending the time and attention on learning how to write-which takes years. Everybody sees the success stories.

I write because it's all I know how to do. Writing is my anchor and my purpose. My life is informed by writing, whether the work is going well or I'm stuck in the hell of writer's block, which I'm happy to report only occurs about once a day.
Sue Grafton
Image
I caution writers all the time to slow down and pay more attention to the work in front of them than to the end result. I don't think you write one book and get anywhere. I think you write five books and then maybe you are finally on the right path.

In my opinion, there's no condition in life that can't be ameliorated by a dose of junk food.
Sue Grafton
Image
You can't make anyone love you and you can't stop anyone from dying.
Sue Grafton
Image
My primary lesson, however, was that I'm a solo writer, happiest when I'm making all the executive decisions. I've always been willing to rise or fall on my own merits.
Sue Grafton
Image
Lying contains the same hostile elements as a practical joke in that the 'victim' ends up looking foolish in his own eyes and laughable in everyone else's.

If your mind isn't open, keep your mouth shut too.

Grieving is like being ill. You think the entire world revolves around you and it doesn't.
