Octavia Butler Stories Quotations

What I'm working on now - I'm back to fantasy, although considering that it's me, I'm turning it into a kind of science fantasy. It's a vampire story - but my vampires are biological vampires. They didn't become vampires because someone bit them; they were born that way.

...I can write my own stories and I can write myself in.

Every story I create, creates me. I write to create myself.

If there's any single talent a writer needs, it's persistence. If you can keep at your writing and you can learn as you write, you can tell any story you want to tell.

I just knew there were stories I wanted to tell.
