Write from the heart, what has meaning to you personally; have the patience and discipline to sit down and do it every day whether you're feeling inspired or not; never be afraid to take chances, in fact, make sure you take chances. as soon as you become complacent, you become boring ... . read as much as possible, not simply in the genre, or what you think you're interested in, but other things as well.

More From Charles De Lint

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Filmmaking Filmmaker Ifs
As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. no reality fits an ideology. life is beyond that. that is why people are always searching for a meaning to life. but life has no meaning; it cannot have meaning because meaning is a formula; meaning is something that makes sense to the mind. every time you make sense out of reality, you bump into something that destroys the sense you made . meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning.
Spiritual Reality People
If only you’d remember before ever you sit down to write that you’ve been a reader long before you were ever a writer. you simply fix that fact in your mind, then sit very still and ask yourself, as a reader, what piece of writing in all the world buddy glass would most want to read if he had his heart’s choice. the next step is terrible, but so simple i can hardly believe it as i write it. you just sit down shamelessly and write the thing yourself. i won’t even underline that. it’s too important to be underlined.
Believe Writing Heart
And when the sun rises we are afraid it might not remain when the sun sets we are afraid it might not rise in the morning when our stomachs are full we are afraid of indigestion when our stomachs are empty we are afraid we may never eat again when we are loved we are afraid love will vanish when we are alone we are afraid love will never return and when we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard nor welcomed but when we are silent we are still afraid so it is better to speak remembering we were never meant to survive
Hope Morning Fear
I am inspired by thinkers. i am inspired by rebellion. i am inspired by children. i have been inspired by love. i have been inspired by heartbreak. i try to take everything that comes at me in life. there have been times in my life that i didn't handle things... right. but even though you stumble, you still kind of get through it.
Children Trying Kind
My life is routine. i wake up early in the morning. i brush my teeth. i sit on the floor of the cell i do not go to breakfast. i stare at a gray cement wall. i keep my legs crossed my back straight my eyes forward. i take deep breaths in and out, in and out, and i try not to move. i sit for as long as i can i sit until everything hurts i sit until everything stops hurting i sit until i lose myself in the gray wall i sit until my mind becomes as blank as the gray wall. i sit and i stare and i breathe. i sit and i stare. i breathe.

I took all the blame. i admitted mistakes i hadn't made, intentions i'd never had. whenever she turned cold and hard, i begged her to be good to me again, to forgive me and love me. sometimes i had the feeling that she hurt herself when she turned cold and rigid. as if what she was yearning for was the warmth of my apologies, protestations, and entreaties. sometimes i thought she just bullied me. but either way, i had no choice.

Love is more pleasant once you get out of your twenties. it doesn't hurt all the time.
Love Hurt Twenties
By the way, if i have my own cult of personality with my own geodetic dome in western massachusetts, i will have a hurt yurt for anyone who crosses me.
Hurt Cult Of Personality Domes
I know them, yea, and what they weigh, even to the utmost scruple; scambling, out-facing, fashion-mong'ring boys, that lie, and cog, and flout, deprave, and slander, go antickly, and show outward hideousness, and speak off half a dozen dangerous words, how they might hurt their enemies, if they durst; and this is all.
