Always good to hear what the big guns have got to say – nice selection!

I've got that Vonnegut list taped next to my computer. Reminding myself of those principles really keeps me grounded. Thanks for compiling these!

Vonnegut's advice on short stories – brilliant!

Vonnegut is the writing advice master. If you are ever stuck then his words will always help!

I followed the link over from your comment on Writer Unboxed because I love these sort of true stories/advice from famous writers posts. I'd seen the Vonnegut one (love him; he says everything perfectly), but the rest are new to me, so thanks!
