“I think a good writer is a mix of confidence (sure that what they're writing is going to appeal to their readers) and uncertainty (what if all these words are crap?).

If you're too uncertain, you'll never finish anything.” IfsThinkingWritingCharacterStoriesAttitudeReaderAppealsUncertaintyWhat IfCrapUncertainGood Writers Author:Charles de Lint

“If you have to become a filmmaker, find a story that takes you away, and tell that story.

Do something from the heart that really matters, and then you'll do something good.” IfsThinkingHeartMatterStoriesSellsMaking MoneyAppealsFilmmakerDistributors Author:Anne Makepeace
