I'm a full-time writer, which means I have the entire day to get my work done. But that can also be bad, because that means I have the entire day to get in my way.
From Dani Shapiro
It's essential to have sacred time for writing. All successful authors have some daily commitment to keep on-track and moving forward.
Success is so fleeting; even if you get a good book deal, or your book is a huge success, there's always the fear: 'What about the next one?'
With each book you write you have to learn how to write that book - so every time, you have to start all over again.
When it comes to the personal essays I write, I just convince myself that no one will ever read them.
Novels are my favorite to write and read. I do like writing personal essays, too. I'm not really a short story writer, nor do I tend to gravitate to them as a reader.
