If you haven't cried at least once while writing a chapter of your inspirational book, then you have to ask yourself if your're writing fiction.
I think the bravest thing to write about is nothing, just to write a book in which nothing happens.
My name is Jarrett Krosoczka, and I write and illustrate books for children for a living. So I use my imagination as my full-time job.
Writing a book about yourself is like therapy, and you go 'Oh My God, that's the reason that happened.' Writing about it, you're forced to really examine things.
I write about what haunts me, and I write the books I myself am dying to read. I love it. I can't think of anything I'd rather do.
I write every day. I'm always in the process of writing my last book, until the next one.
In every book I write, I try to name-check the most prominent influences, or the most prominent conscious influences.
The whole purpose of writing a book is to be understood - if other people write about you, they try to guess why you did things, or they hear things from other people.

I don't plan to write another science book, but I don't plan not to. I do enjoy writing histories, and taking subjects that are generally dull and trying to make them interesting.
If I lose, then I have to accept that my way of writing books is not the way society says it's okay to write.
I write my books in my head, and not in a specific study with a view. The view is from my inner eyes.
I like writing. I get cranky when I can't. Yes, I write books back to back, and I work very hard on them.
Chaucer, like Homer, writes about a journey, but as a Christian he has a different goal. Homer wanted to go home, but Chaucer's pilgrims want a place of man's true home: paradise
If I’m going to write a book every American will want to read, it’s got to have lots of pictures. Those pictures must also move, and all the words in the book must be spoken and available audibly for all the readers to hear as they watch.
