This is for writers yet to be published who think the uphill climb will never end. Keep believing. This is also for published writers grown jaded by the process. Remember how lucky you are.

More quotes by Terry Brooks
Even after Sword was published, I was still only thinking about the next book, Elfstones.
Terry Brooks
If I have the means, I have the responsibility to employ them.
Terry Brooks
Writing fantasy lets me imagine a great deal more than, say, writing about alligators, and lets me write about places more distant than Florida, but I can tell you things about Florida and alligators, let you make the connection all on your own.
Terry Brooks
What kind of world permitted such terrible injustice, where good men were stripped of everything and soulless creatures of malice and hatred survived to glory in their pointless death?
Terry Brooks
I haven't made up my mind about doing anymore Landover books.
Terry Brooks
What I want to write about has changed somewhat, and the scope of the storytelling has changed accordingly.
Terry Brooks
When she cried, he would say, there is nothing wrong with crying. Your feelings tell you who are. They tell what is important. Don't ever be ashamed of them.
Terry Brooks
What we have in life that we can count on is who we are and where we come from, she thought absently. For better or worse, that's what we have to sustain us in our endeavors, to buttress us in our darker moments, and to remind us of our identity. Without those things, we are adrift.
Terry Brooks
If you don't think there is magic in writing, you probably won't write anything magical.
Terry Brooks
We live out our lives as we are meant to live them-with some choice, with some chance, but mostly as a result of the persons we are.
Terry Brooks
If you do not love what you do, if you are not appropriately grateful for the chance to create something magical each time you sit down at the computer or with a pencil and paper in hand, somewhere along the way your writing will betray you.
Terry Brooks
When I was a kid, we had to rely on our imaginations for entertainment.
Terry Brooks
Cats can do whatever they want, whenever they want, without regard to what anyone says or does. Rather like Princesses.
Terry Brooks
The future is an ever-shifting maze of possibilities until it becomes the present. The future I have shown you tonight is not yet fixed. But it is more likely to become so with the passing of every day because nothing is being done to turn it aside. If you would change it, do as I have told you.
Terry Brooks
You shouldn't believe everything you hear you're young, not stupid.
Terry Brooks
Might have, could have, may have, should haveāthe haves and have nots reduced to pointless possibilities.
Terry Brooks
If you do not hear music in your words, you have put too much thought into your writing and not enough heart.
Terry Brooks
Herein lies the heart and soul of the nations. Their right to be free men, Their desire to live in peace, Their courage to seek out truth, Herein lies the Sword of Shannara.
Terry Brooks
A cat never discusses his business with humans, not even Princesses. A cat never explains and never apologizes. A cat never alibis. You must accept a cat as it is and for what it is and not expect more than the pleasure of its company.

My interests are different now than they were thirty years ago.
