“A writer who waits for ideal conditions under which to work will die without putting a word to paper.”
“Fear is felt by writers at every level. Anxiety accompanies the first word they put on paper and the last.”
“If the voices in your head make you cry, you're a lunatic. Put their words on paper, and you're a writer.”
“Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions.”
“The truly great writer does not want to write: he wants the world to be a place in which he can life the life of the imagination. The first quivering word he puts to paper is the word of the wounded angel: pain.”
“A daydreamer is a writer just waiting for pen and paper.”
