Quotation of the Day for February 26, 2012"Knowing how seriously aspiring writers of fiction can take advice from more established writers of fiction, I'm generally reluctant to say more than: If you wish to learn to write fiction, it helps if you've read a lot of it before you begin to try. And that in any case, you'll likely need to spend a lot of time discovering how to try, and then a lot more time trying. I don't really remember anything very specific about learning to drive, other than a neat trick for parallel parking, and learning to write fiction is a lot like that (except for no terrified instructor in the passenger seat, though in a way we each provide one of those as well)." - William Gibson, from the introduction to his 2012 essay collection, Distrust That Particular Flavor.
