Random quote of the day:
“The only way you learn how to write is by writing….Because that is the way it is done. Because there is no other way to do it. Not one other way….Compulsive diligence is almost enough. But not quite. You have to have a taste for words. Gluttony. You have to want to roll in them. You have to read millions of them by other people. You read everything with grinding envy or weary contempt.â€
—John D. McDonald, introduction to Stephen King’s Night Shift
