Quote

Still, something about writing made me spend large hours of my free time at my desk.

I loved the process of writing.

Like so many writers I started writing stories because I didn't have much time for anything else.

I'd always liked to write, but I never wanted to be a writer, because it seemed a sissy occupation. It is. To this day, I find it terribly easy. And so, rather than trying to hunt up a text, I just wrote one.

I wanted to become a writer. I enjoyed reading as a child.

Understand, I had absolutely no interest in writing; I wanted to be a Writer.

I wish I had more time to write.

I wanted to be a novelist for so long.

I felt that I had to write. Even if I had never been published, I knew that I would go on writing, enjoying it and experiencing the challenge.

I looked back at the years since I'd left college and thought of the list of things I'd have liked to do. I'd always wanted to write a book - not a small undertaking. I never felt I had the time or creative energy to spare in order to write one as well as I wanted.
