I'm not the sort of writer who can walk into a party and take a look around, see who's sleeping with whom and go home and write a novel about society. It's not the way I work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.
I really consider myself a writer, and a writer who is sometimes a social critic. I'm not an ideologue, I don't join a party. I follow along and take notes. Sometimes I throw in my two cents.
I'm not a very good writer. I'm working at it.
You know you lose a lot of social skills if you're a writer. You spend too long alone. And its forced me to address that.
If you are a writer you're at home, which means you're out of touch. You have to make excuses to get out there and look at how the world is changing.
I just have a thing for writers. Maybe it because I'm just so not a writer.
You're isolated as a writer, so I always envied people who could get up early and drive to work and fit into society.
I'm a very organised and rational and linear thinker, and you have to stop all that to write a novel.
I used to feel that I spent too much of my time in my pajamas doing nothing, and I'd think 'in the time that I don't spend writing, I could raise a family of five.' In a lot of ways, being a writer is lonely and alienating.
I don't really consider myself a writer.
