“Why do you write? he asked. So I can take my love for you and give it to the world, I reply. Because you won't take it from me.”

He'd smile up at me like I was a surprise. He was dreaming. He'd forgotten he'd called my name. It was like a note he had sung in a moment that had passed.

Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.

— William Faulkner.
