Live the Scene As You Write It

No tears in the writer,

no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader.”

Do the Job All the Way Through

"I've told every young writer I know to do the job all the way through,

even if he thinks it's no good. Then he'll have the precedent of having finished a work. It isn't likely that he's been mistaken anyway. All writers are discontented with their work as it's being made. That's because they're aware of a potential and believe they're not reaching it. But the reader is not aware of the potential, so it makes no difference to him."
