Quote

I worked at magazines for over 10 years before I even thought of writing a book.

I essentially write for myself.

I write a lot about myself.

I write for myself things that I've gone through.

If I haven't any talent for writing books or newspaper articles, well, then I can always write for myself.

I wrote for magazines. I wrote adventure stuff, I wrote for the 'National Enquirer,' I wrote advertising copy for cemeteries.

I love writing traditional magazine pieces, and especially their breadth of reporting and the deliberateness of the writing.

I don't call magazines and let them know about things so they can write stories.

There are many people who say, 'I write for myself.' I think that if you write and publish, then you write for your readers, not just for yourself. Many writers say that they write to be loved. I place myself among those writers.
