Being an author is fun. It's a great job, because I can stay up as late as I want, and if I feel like taking the day off, I do it. Plus, I get to make up silly stories and draw pictures all day.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just love doing different things, which is what being a working author is like.
It's fun being paid to read stuff and air your opinion about it - pretty much a dream job for a writer.
I like being a writer.
I feel lucky I didn't become that newspaper cartoonist I wanted to be because in the U.S. so many newspapers have suffered circulation declines, and some have folded. What's fun about being an author is I reach a much bigger audience, and there is something special about launching a book you've penned.
I love being a writer. I don't really want to do anything else!
The great thing about being a writer is that you have a long, perhaps frighteningly long time in which to do your work.
I'm still very blunt: If you want to be a writer, get a day job. The fact that I have actually been able to make a living at it is astonishing.
I really enjoy the writing process because I can do it from my house. I can create these characters and take them in the different directions that I want to take them. You have a lot of freedom as a writer.
I love being a writer. I have a great life. I get up in the morning and pad around in my dressing gown and listen to Radio 4.
I enjoy writing. Publishing... not so much. I've been lucky to work with some very talented people in the publishing world, and the print industry has allowed me to write full time.
