“Writing isn't letters on paper. It's communication. It's memory.”
“Writing is a failure. Writing is not only useless, it's spoiled paper.”
“An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's written on.”
“That isn't writing at all, it's typing.”
“Fiction writing is a kind of magic. If I communicate the magic spell . . . it loses its force for me.”
“It's easier to revise lousy writing than to revise a blank sheet of paper.”
