“Writing is like having a lover. Sometimes it's wonderful and sometimes it's a pain in the neck.”
“Writing a novel is like making love, but it's also like having a tooth pulled. Pleasure and pain. Sometimes it's like making love while having a tooth pulled.”
“There is no rule on how to write. Sometimes it comes easily and perfectly; sometimes it's like drilling rock and then blasting it out with charges.”
“Sometimes writing everyday is like pulling teeth, painful, but necessary.”
“Sometimes the writing flows, sometimes it's like wading through concrete. But I keep showing up each day, whether the Muse joins me or not.”
“Love's scary, and sometimes it's transient. But it's worth the risks and the nerves. It's even worth the pain.”
