You pay for what you get, you own what you pay for... and sooner or later whatever you own comes back home to you. - Stephen King

What you buy is what you own, and sooner or later what you own will come back to you.

You don’t own a thing unless you can give it up, what does it profit a man, it profits him nothing, it profits him zilch, and you don’t learn that in school, you learn it on the road, you learn it from Ferd Janklow, and Wolf, and Richard going head-first into the rocks like a Titan II that didn’t fire off right.

When asked, "How do you write?" I invariably answer, "one word at a time."

Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.
