Quotes by Jeffrey A. Carver (?)

“Practice, practice, practice writing. Writing is a craft that requires both talent and acquired skills. You learn by doing, by making mistakes and then seeing where you went wrong.”
― Jeffrey A. Carver

“There are as many ways to discover your story as there are to trip over a dog in the kitchen--and some of them feel about as planned.”

“The star rigger’s Flux: a higher-dimensional realm where reality and fantasy became strangely merged, where landscapes of the mind intersected with the real fabric of space, where space itself flowed and surged with movement—and where a rigger’s skills could vault him across light-years, or send him spiraling to his death.”
― Jeffrey A. Carver, Eternity's End
