“If you haven't written a novel by the time you're forty you never will!”
“I haven't written in a week. It's like holding your breath under water. You feel an awful constriction and then the instinct to propel yourself.”
“How can you be lonely? You've got yourself, haven't you? If you ever lose yourself, then you'll really be lonely...”
“Writing 1000 words is only daunting if you haven't written them. When you're done, it's pie.”
“If you begin to give away parts of yourself, eventually you'll give it all. And once you've lost yourself, haven't you lost everything?”
