Erik Wolpaw Quotes
If you think reading a book is hard, you should try writing one. Because it's even harder. It's still not as hard as writing a game, though.

As a novelist, you just need to think of a few decent strings of words and then fill the other 98% of the book with more or less random descriptions of things and exclamation points.
