"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."

Science

"One of my rules is never explain. A writer is a lot like a magician, if you explain how the trick works then a lot of the magic turns mundane."

Writing

"Never trust people who smile constantly. They're either selling something or not very bright."

Psychology

Responsibility

"Still it might be nice, once in a while, not to have to choose between evils. Just once, couldn't I choose the lesser good?"

Ethics

"I know, I know. I rescued him and he's bonded to me like a baby duck."

Relationship
