Johnny Rich“A thrilling story can be dull if told badly, but even the most mundane event can be elevated into a tale of epic scale by a good storyteller.”
Johnny Rich“Good writing is more about graft and craft than inspiration and aspiration.”
Johnny Rich“To be motivated to write a novel, I need to be unable not to write.”

Or you could see a universe in the smallest thing. The way a person takes their coffee, for example, might say something profound and important about that person, about all humanity, about existence itself.”
Johnny Rich“A novel must be judged on its merits, not on how hard the journey was to write it.”
Johnny Rich“Publishers are businesses and I don’t blame them for that. If they didn’t make money by publishing books, there wouldn’t be any books.”
