Patrick Rothfuss quotes about
writing years shining
It's my belief that you should never show your work to anyone in the publishing world until it shines like a diamond. Rough drafts don't shine, as a rule. Mine certainly didn't. That's why I was rejected for years and years.
appearance type
Appearance is a type of power.
writing differences worry
I'm just very careful with my words when I write. Obsessively careful. I'm the sort of person who worries about the difference between "slim" and "slender.
unique feelings different
In brief, worldbuilding is different than setting in my opinion. Setting is a room. A backdrop. It's scenery. But without good worldbuilding, you can't have realistic feeling scenery. You can't have cool, unique backdrops for your story.
prophet
There is only one Whedon, and I am his prophet.
drama character writing
There is nothing I can't do writing in Fantasy. I can have romance, I can have mystery, I can have drama, I can have good characters - I can have everything you can do in any other genre... plus a dragon.
guy stories needs
Don't get me wrong, hard and soft fantasy stories can both be good. But you need to know which camp you're in. I'm into realism. I'm a hard fantasy guy.
kings book half
Half a King is my favorite book by Joe Abercrombie so far, and that's saying something.
song parent singing
Someone's parents have been singing entirely the wrong sort of songs.
mouths feels obliged
Close your mouth, E'lir Kvothe, or I will feel obliged to put some vile tonic in it.
writing looks language
For me, language is something that I've always loved. When I read, that's what I look for. When I write, that's what I strive for.
eye lucky world
If you can find someone like that, someone who you can hold and close your eyes to the world with, then you're lucky.
teaching college class
I loved college. I wish I was still taking classes instead of teaching them.
flower autumn cutting
The Waystone was his, just as the third silence was his. This was appropriate, as it was the greatest silence of the three, wrapping the others inside itself. It was deep and wide as autumn’s ending. It was heavy as a great river-smooth stone. It was the patient, cut-flower sound of a man who is waiting to die.
