Tips on writing from people I admire; I'm not a professional. But these people are.

Here's a link to my most valuable resource. He's a professor from Canada who was generous enough to post many articles on novel writing advice and instruction. It's not a cheat sheet, and writing is still quite hard in my opinion, but this is great for those with great ideas who need a few tips to get their thoughts on papers in a fluent and constructive way:

And now, Favorite Quotes!!

"Good fiction is not only the thrill of a plot, at its best it is an invitation to explore beyond the appearance of things, it challenges the reader's safety, it questions reality. Yes, it can be disturbing. But there may be a reward at the end. With some luck, the author and the reader, hand in hand, may stumble upon some particles of truth. Usually, however, that is not the intention of the author in the first place. The writer merely suffers from an uncontrollable need to tell the story. There is nothing more to it, believe me."
-Isabel Allende

“As is a tale, so is life. Not how long it is, but how good it is, is what matters.”

"Remember labrats, winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
- A good Year

"Life grows or shrinks in proportion to one's courage."

"If you choose to use your status and influence to raise your voice on behalf of those who have no voice, if you choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless, if you retain the ability to imagine yourself into the lives of those who do not have your advantages, then it will not only be your proud families who celebrate your existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality you have helped change. We do not need magic to transform our world; we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already. We have the power to imagine better."
-JK Rowling on Imagination at the Harvard 2008 commencement

“What we achieve inwardly will change outward reality”

"Failure is something it is impossible to avoid unless you live so cautiously that you fail by default" -JK Rowling

"Be the change you wish to see in the world." -Ghandi

"Well behaved women seldom make history." -Laurel Thatcher Ulrich

On Reviews: I really love reviews, so any comments/questions/theories/ideas would be much appreciated. Basically I consider reviews a chance for the reader to help shape the story. So it's good for all of us when you leave me reviews :D
