“There is no way of being a creative writer in America without being a loser.”
“If I am not being creative, I get creative with ways to destroy myself.”
“Creativity is the art of being yourself through all the possible means and ways.”
“Sore loser? You bet your fuckin' ass! What on earth is wrong with being a sore loser? It shows you cared about whatever the contest was in the first place. Fuck losing graciously-that's for chumps. And losers, by the way.”
“Your unique creative talents and abilities are flowing through you and are being expressed in deeply satisfying ways. Your creativity is always in demand.”
“I like the idea of a writer being haunted by his own creation, especially if the writer resents the way the character defines him.”
