  About Dr. Forsyth




"Successful writers are not the ones who write the best sentences. They are the ones who keep writing. They are the ones who discover what is most important and stangest and most pleasurable in themselves, and keep believing in the value of their work, despite the difficulties."
......Bonnie Friedman

"Put down everything that comes into your head and then you're a writer. But an author is one who can judge his own stuff's worth, without pity, and destroy most of it."
