“I believe that a writer is a person who writes. An author is a person who has written.”
“A writer who has perfect writing skills and zero honesty is not an author but a sales person.”
“An editor is a person who knows more about writing than writers do but who has escaped the terrible desire to write.”
“A writer is someone who has written something today”
“The thing is not to write what no one else has written but to write what only you could have written.' I found this fragment in my old notebooks. The person who wrote that couldn't have known what would happen: how a voice hollows how words you once loved can wither on a page.”
“Only a person who is congenitally self-centered has the effrontery and the stamina to write essays.”
