“Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self."[The New Statesman, February 25, 1933]”
“Writing for publication is an odd hybrid of intimate self-exploration and public exhibitionsim.”
“Write. No amount of self-inflicted misery, altered states, black pullovers or being publicly obnoxious will ever add up to your being a writer. Writers write. On you go.”
“Publication is a marathon, not a sprint. Writing the book is only the start.”
“Writing books is a socially acceptable form of getting naked in public.”
“If one publishes, then one is creating a public record of Learning to Write. ”
