"Writing, at least for me, is a learning process limited only by one's imagination. To be a good writer, one needs patience, steadfast commitment to the writing process, and the drive to improve at the craft. I often tell people interested in penning novels that writing, like any craft, can be learned. In one sense, it's like carpentry; if one wants to become a good carpenter, one has only to study the craft and strive for perfection. Without the unquenchable desire to be better at writing, one will never achieve that goal. I say this because I know that I am a much better writer today than twenty-five years ago. That's why I have returned to those first great novels/novellas and rewritten them. Good stories should be penned eloquently, flawlessly, and with a penchant for perfection to make them great stories. Once I finish writing, it takes an equal amount of time to fine-tune, edit, and perfect the prose, always striving for perfection and always learning and improving at the craft. This is what good novelists do."         David Martin Anderson
