“Write it down. Whatever it is, write it down. Chip in into marble. Type it into Microsoft Word. Spell it out in seaweeds on the shore. We are each of us an endangered species, delicate as unicorns.”
“For some reason, the act of writing them down makes me remember. Each word I write brings me closer to finding the right one.”
“Writing is a lonely job. Even if a writer socializes regularly, when he gets down to the real business of his life, it is he and his type writer or word processor. No one else is or can be involved in the matter.”
“Very often we write down a sentence too early, then another too late; what we have to do is write it down at the proper time, otherwise it's lost.”
“Writing- the profession in which you stare at a computer screen, stare out the window, type a few words, then curse repeatedly.”
“If you have Microsoft Word, you can become a writer tonight. Just start typing!”
