“A writer never has a vacation. For a writer, life consists of either writing or thinking about writing.”
“You learn to write by writing, and by reading and thinking about how writers have created their characters and invented their stories. If you are not a reader, don't even think about being a writer.”
“- I don't want to be a writer so I can write about my life. I want to be a writer to escape from it. + Then you shouldn't be a writer.”
“writing about a writer's block is better than not writing at all”
“An editor is a person who knows more about writing than writers do but who has escaped the terrible desire to write.”
“I am not retiring. Writers don't retire. Writers never stop writing.”
