"The story itself, the true story, is the one that the audience members create in their minds, guided and shaped by my text, but then ransformed, elucidated, expanded, edited, and clarified by their own experience, their own desires, their own hopes and fears." — Orson Scott Card

Linda added a quote:
"To be a good writer, you not only have to write a great deal but you have to care. You do not have to have a complicated moral philosophy. But a writer always tries, I think, to be a part of a solution, to understand a little about life and to pass this on. " — Anne Lamott

Linda added a quote:
"The very first thing I tell my new students on the first day of a workshop is that good writing is about telling the truth. We are a species that needs and wants to understand who we are. Sheep lice do not seem to share this longing, which is one reason they write so very little. But we do. We have so much we want to say and figure out." — Anne Lamott
