Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts.
Rita Mae Brown

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
C. S. Lewis (1898 - 1963)

And the one in my icon, of course... don't know who/where that originates from, though.

The C.S. Lewis is a favorite of mine as well. Your icon may be a Ray Bradbury quotation. Over my desk I have written (in as large as letters as I could): What does your character want? It is the key to every good story.
