The most difficult part of writing a book is not devising a plot which will captivate the reader. It's not developing characters the reader will have strong feelings for or against.

The most difficult task facing a writer is to find the voice in which to tell the story.: Randy Pausch, Carnegie Mellon Commencement Speech, 2008

You gotta take care of your life.: Laura Moncur (1969 - ), Merriton: 35 Minutes Away From Home, 02-29-12
