Dark Thoughts on Writing; Advice and Commentary from Ffity Masters of Fear and Suspense by Stanley Wiater

Don't be thrown off by the title...the book has some good advice for any writer.

[Writing's] a very healthy way to get rid of people who are inconvenient. On days when people disappoint me, I do a lot of writing in order to survive that day. I get hurt as much as anyone....When people hurt us terribly, we either laugh at them--and laugh them out of existence--or we cry them out of existence.

And then learn to laugh again.

Ray Bradbury
