“It's wonderful being an author and having so many kids enjoying my boo...” — Rick Riordan Quote

“It's wonderful being an author and having so many kids enjoying my books. That's always been my dream job, and I feel very lucky to be able to do it.”

“Frank stared at her. "But you throw Ding Dongs at monsters.”

“And, whoa!" He turned to Mr.D. "Your the wine dude? No way!”

“Ideas improve. The meaning of words participates in the improvement. Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author's phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with the right idea.”

“I always knew, deep down, that I'd love to be an author, but I don't think I really thought about trying to do it seriously until it was time to leave school and consider what I'd do next.”

“I used to say, read as much as you can. Now I say, read the best that you can, the stories that resonate with you, the books that are important to you. Try to read, not only as a reader, but also as a writer, to deconstruct how the author is telling his or her story.”
