As many have noted, the peril for authors is that our work space is too easily our play space.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like working with authors who are a bit pesky.
There has to be space for play in literature. We all need some breathing room.
Authors like reading. Go figure. So it's not surprising that we sometimes bog down in the research stage of new writing projects.
There are a lot of authors in the world, so it's difficult to find a unique niche to present your take on things. That is always a challenge for any author.
Humans are very complex; I definitely have a new respect for authors that are able to write books nonstop. It's an incredible talent.
A certain luxury when you get to writing a novel is to have the space to have your characters just banter.
It's what every writer needs: a daybed.
Some authors are quite happy - and have the time - to do it all themselves, which is great.
Writers are not just people who sit down and write. They hazard themselves. Every time you compose a book your composition of yourself is at stake.
Of all the diversions of life, there is none so proper to fill up its empty spaces as the reading of useful and entertaining authors.
