She worded it a bit strongly, but I do find myself more and more struck by the differences between the sexes. To put it another way: All marriages are mixed marriages.
From Anne Tyler
Not until the final draft do I force myself to remember that I'm going to have to think about how it will affect other people.
My writing day has grown shorter as I've aged, although it seems to produce the same number of pages.
My stories are never quite good enough.
My decision to start a new one is just that, a decision, since I never get inspirations.
It's true that it's a solitary occupation, but you would be surprised at how much companionship a group of imaginary characters can offer once you get to know them.
It seems to me that good novels celebrate the mystery in ordinary life, and summing it all up in psychological terms strips the mystery away.
In real life I avoid all parties altogether, but on paper I can mingle with the best of them.
If I waited till I felt like writing, I'd never write at all.
I've always enjoyed studying the small clues that indicate a particular class level.
