I didn't think being a writer was a fancy thing. It was a job like any other job, except apparently you could do it at home.

It's not like being a writer is a very lucrative career, but you know, you just know when you've found what you're really meant to do.

Being a novelist is hard for anyone - male or female. You don't get to quit your day job.

I just feel really fortunate to build a career as a writer.

Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.

I always knew I wanted to be a writer. I just wasn't sure what I wanted to do as a money-making job.

I would recommend, definitely, developing a 'day job' that you like - don't expect to make money writing!

Basically, I always wanted to be an author but went through all these other jobs while getting up the nerve to finally go for it with my writing! Thank goodness it worked; who knows what I might have done next?

Like everyone else, there are days when I don't want to go to work. However, writing is a job like anything else.

You need a certain amount of nerve to be a writer.
