“I do not write with ease, nor am I ever pleased with anything I write. And so I rewrite.”
“I do not write for a select minority, which means nothing to me, nor for that adulated platonic entity known as ‘The Masses’. Both abstractions, so dear to the demagogue, I disbelieve in. I write for myself and for my friends, and I write to ease the passing of time.”
“...what I write is smarter than I am. Because I can rewrite it.”
“If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it.”
“I am tired, so very tired of thinking about Lacey Yeager, yet I worry that unless I write her story down, and see it bound and tidy on my bookshelf, I will be unable to ever write about anything else.”
“I feel that by writing I am doing what is far more necessary than anything else.”
