“Standing out as a writer today requires more than a bright idea and li...” — Dave Morris Quote

Standing out as a writer today requires more than a bright idea and limpid prose. Authors need to become businesspeople as well.

Motion comics are just cheap animation. Very cheap animation. And I like animation almost as much as I like comics, but I'm not rushing to pay out for a cheap hybrid of the two.

When a medium like games or comic books whips up such a rapture of enthusiasm, naturally we look for lessons we should be learning.

As we get older, we demand stories that go somewhere. Things must change.

My first memory of the public library is of lugging home a volume of Norse myths as heavy as a thunder-god's hammer.

I sometimes read about authors who say they require a perfectly silent room maintained at precisely 68 degrees, with trash bags taped over the windows and a white-noise machine in the corner to write, and I think, 'Who are these people, and do any of them have kids?'

I don't give plots to Harold Robbins or Graham Greene, because they don't need them, but a lot of authors do.

Many authors hate to go on grinding book tours. But I've always found it a useful way to be a foreign correspondent in America and take the pulse of the country.

Many companies are now promising to educate their employees in a pursuit of a culture that better values and respects diversity and the incredible work of black authors, black owned businesses and grassroot foundations are finally being recognised.
