M. K. Hobson Quotes

1. I’ve just always been fascinated by what our belief can do, and what happens when we misuse that.
2. Politics have no relation to morals.
3. I really do believe some people are naturally novelists and some people are short story writers. For me, when I was in middle school or high school, I started with novels.
4. I’m awfully envious of writers who have the discipline to complete a specific writing goal each and every day. It seems quite a sane and sober approach. I, on the other hand, write like a drunkard. I’m a binge writer. (via)
5. Once I had the concept and outline completed I was able to write the first draft very quickly — probably about three months. Then there was a lot of rewriting after that. That is my usual process. (via)
