It’s always good to get some meaningful quotes from authors, that aren’t just extracts taken from their novels, but are written on a more personal level, revealing some of their own challenges and thoughts.
Here are a few that I selected from the attributed repertoire of Jeffery Deaver:
“I’ve often said that there’s no such thing as writer’s block, the problem is idea block”
“The best way to learn about writing is to study the work of other writers you admire”
“If you have a craftsman’s command of the language and basic writing techniques you’ll be able to write – as long as you know what you want to say”
