Laurell K Hamilton Quotes

Everyone spends their lives trying to balance their world between good and evil.
Here's the secret to finishing that first book. Don't rewrite as you go.

I am a very linear thinker, so I write beginning to end. I write hundreds of pages per book that never make it into print.
I am not a morning person.
I cannot say how strongly I object to people using other people's writing as research. Research is non-fiction, especially for horror, fantasy, science fiction. Do not take your research from other people's fiction. Just don't.

I've lost track of the number of people who want to be writers but never actually write anything. Talking about writing, dreaming about writing, can be very fun, but it won't get a book written. You've got to write.

If people would write exactly what I wanted to read I wouldn't feel so compelled to write myself.
