“Writer’s want to write something that’ll live forever. I don’t. What do I care if my writing lives forever if I won’t? I just want to be recognized while I’m still alive. 
”

“I want to do something splendid…Something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead…I think I shall write books.”

“I want to do something splendid. Something heroic or wonderful that won’t be forgotten after I’m dead. I think I shall write books.”

“For me, if I have writer’s block it means I know that what I am writing is not working quite right and I need to go back and fix what is not right. And once I do that I can write onward. Sometimes writer’s block is just I’m in a funk that day and my writing just isn’t working. In that case I write anyway and then throw it away. You can always write. Writer's block is 'I can't write because what I'm writing is crap.”

“I write what I want to read. If I were to write what I know, I'd be staring at a blank page forever.”

“I want to write. I have always wanted to write. I do not care it I am not good at it. I just want to try.”
