Anytime I write something that's trying to be too smart, it doesn't work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love to write, so it rarely seems like work - even when it gets arduous.
I can always write. Sometimes, to be sure, what I write is crap, but it's words on the page and therefore it is something to work with.
When I try to write I try to write something different every time. That's the challenge.
Why do I write? It's not that I want people to think I am smart, or even that I am a good writer. I write because I want to end my loneliness.
I'm not a writer. I'm not smart. I couldn't possibly even write my own story.
If you get a sense that your writing isn't quite working, change it. Or cut it out. Don't just tell yourself it'll do, because it won't.
It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer.
I'm not that smart, and I don't read things.
Writing is hard work: it is like doing homework for the rest of your life. You are always chipping away at it.
I find my readers to be very smart, and there is no reason to write dumb.
