writer quotes

"Conmen work by getting you to swallow the hook a little at a time; first you are led to believe a small improbability, then are a series of increasingly improbable complications, until you finally believe something so preposterous that afterward you cannot fathom your own foolishness. My writer friend Snaker says the only difference between a writer and a conman is the writer has better hours, works at home, and can use his real name if it suits him."
