Don’t polish it forever, put it out there. At some point the changes aren’t improvements, they’re just changes.
Dan Alatorre
On working with other writers: You develop honesty and you can then ask the really embarrassing questions. I have learned so many things I didn’t want to know, and they were all a result of interesting interviews for background information.

My characters still talk the way normal people talk. They argue, they are sarcastic with each other, they joke around. I usually end up with one outrageous minor character in each book that people just rave about. We all have that one friend who says and does things that are a riot. A character like that is the salt in the soup: you want just enough to bring everything to life.

People are suckers for the truth and they know it when they see it. Open your soul and they will stop and watch.
Dan Alatorre
Dig deep and go where the pain and fear and joy are, and put it out there. The minute you shy away from pure honesty in your writing, you become a liar.

Not knowing stuff - like how your story ends before you start writing - is the seed of a lot of writer’s block.
