Lines On Writing

I read an article today: "22 of the Best Single Sentences on Writing." My favorite sentence came from James Vandermeer:
If you are drawn to write what's uncomfortable, it may help to recognize that you are allowed to write for yourself, and that any decisions about seeking publication are separate from that first, fundamental decision (and freedom). —Wonderbook
I confess, I knew nothing about the author until now because of course I had to Google him after reading the quote. 

I enjoy authors who push the envelope and rewrite the "rules." Roald Dahl is tops on my list for that. The brief interview with him above shows his unconventional thought paths and experiences that helped him create his stories. 

Have a great week.
