Writing can be a very solitary business. It's you sat at a desk typing words into a computer. It can get lonely sometimes and lots of writers live quite isolated lives.

Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.

Writing is like playing golf - you have to keep working at your swing.

Writing is a muscle that needs to be exercised every day: The more you write, the easier it becomes.

The tough thing about writing is you go into a room alone, you close the door and you do your work.

I usually write on a computer - unless I get stuck, at which point I switch to write by hand. I think that's common among writers if they get cornered on something.

I think the computer is a hindrance to good writing because it is so tempting to leave what you've written. If you use a typewriter, you must retype if you make a mistake, and thus, you must re-examine every word.

I write in longhand. I am accustomed to that proximity, that feel of writing. Then I sit down and type.
