Quote

I never considered writing as a career - it was always a creative outlet for me and something I just loved to do.

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'd always loved to read - and come from a family of readers - but I never thought about writing as a career.

I have never stopped considering not becoming a writer.

I always loved writing, but never considered that I could do it professionally.

For me, writing has always come out of living a fairly to-the-bone kind of life, just really being present to a lot of life. The writing has been really a byproduct of that.

I'm not sure if I always wanted to be a writer, but I was always writing.

I've carved out a career for myself really as a writer.

I decided very early that I wanted to write. But I didn't think of it as a career. I didn't even think of it as a profession... It was the most exciting thing, the most powerful thing, the most wonderful thing to do with my life.

I always have to be writing.
