All a writer wants is to be read, and people are so flattering and lovely. I mean, there are witches out there as well. But most are so kind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do love that witches haven't really been explored that much. Usually, witches are the little side character... a bad female character that comes in and leaves.
One thing that writers have in common is that they are readers first. They have read lots and lots of stuff, because they're just infested with lots of stuff.
First of all, writing at best - certainly fiction writing - more and more I think is magic.
I go to readings by fiction writers like Alice Walker, and I'm envious of the level of attention they generate.
I like to be read. That's most of what any writer could want.
I am the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.
Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.
I know when I go and see a writer, the first thing I think to myself is, 'Are they the character in the book?' You just can't help it; it's the way people are.
I'm the kind of writer that people think other people are reading.
I'm a very good storyteller; I have a lot of compassion for people. That's very useful for a novelist. A lot of novelists are snots. They're just mean people. I'm not a terribly skilled stylist, nor do I want to be. I want a lot of people to read one of my stories and go, 'That was pretty cool.'
