I'm of the ilk of writers that feels you have to be open to the inspiration.

Not having any real direction, one writer would lead me to another.

The wok is one of my favorite things to work with when I'm camping.

A writer is what I am.

Novel writing is far and away the most exhausting work I know.

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.

Any writer worth the name is always getting into one thing or getting out of another thing.

I've never thought of myself as a writer. I still don't, despite all the writing I've done.

I don't do all that well in the writerly world. I'm happier being outside the flow.

As a writer, you live in such isolation. It's hard to imagine your book has a life beyond you.
