“Lester del Rey told me repeatedly that the first and most important part of writing fiction is just to think about the story. Don't write anything down. Don't try to pull anything together right away. Just dream for a while and see what happens. There isn't any timetable involved, no measuring stick for how long it ought to take. For each book, it is different. But that period of thinking, of reflection, is crucial to how successful your story will turn out to be.” ThinkingWritingTryingFirstsLongImportantBookDifferentStoriesDreamHappensTogetherTurnsFictionSuccessfulOughtInvolvedPeriodsReflectionSticksCrucialMeasuringWriting FictionTimetables Author:Terry Brooks
“Working in television it's really great to be able to stick with a character for a long period of time. It's not like you have one shot, and that's it. You have more time, more room, an ability to reflect on your performance and the character and how much has really been shown, and what you'd like to see. It's nice. You have more breathing room.” LongCharacterAbleAbilityRoomsNiceTelevisionLike YouPeriodsShotsPerformancesSticksBreathingMore TimeReally GreatLong Periods Of Time Author:Christina Ricci

“I think my weight-training proved to me more than anything that I can do anything in life if I really put my mind to it. I saw me bring myself from 137 pounds to 175 pounds over a seven-year period.

“There was a period of time between 2005 and 2008 that was pretty challenging. I had taken a leap of faith and moved to Los Angeles from New York, which had been incredible to me professionally. I couldn't get arrested in this town. There was a lot of doubt and fear that crept in, and boy, did insecurity stick her foot up in it. There were many obstacles that were overcome during that very dark period - creative, financial, emotional, and spiritual - and I'm here, standing, stronger than ever.” SpiritualChallengesDarkBoysCreativeTakenDoubtFeetNew YorkEmotionalPeriodsStandingOvercomingStrongerTownsMovedSticksIncrediblesFinancialObstaclesInsecurityLos AngelesLeapArrestedLeap Of FaithDoubt And FearStronger Than Ever Author:Erica Tazel
