“You can be a member of all of the romance writers associations, take part in all of the networking available, or win the latest romance award... but guess what?

So forget all of the fluff that clouds your purpose... writing!!”

Graham Greene
“Excitement is simple: excitement is a situation, a single event. It mustn't be wrapped up in thoughts, similes, metaphors.

Even an adjective slows the pace or tranquilizes the nerve.”
Graham Greene
