Quote

Writing is frustration - it's daily frustration, not to mention humiliation. It's just like baseball: you fail two-thirds of the time.

Writing is agony. I hate it.

There's nothing more painful than writing.

I guess I have a talent for humiliation, a place within me that experience can't reach, which is terrible in real life but something that comes in handy in writing. It seems as though humiliation has become a career for me.

Let's face it, writing is hell.

Writing is not necessarily something to be ashamed of, but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards.

When you're writing, you are robbed of your delivery.

The act of writing is a kind of catharsis, a liberation, but I never really concerned myself with that. I write because it interests me.

Of all fatiguing, futile, empty trades, the worst, I suppose, is writing about writing.

The desire to write grows with writing.
