It's a terrible poison, writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ah, no, far be from me a thought which I loathe like poison.
Writing is agony. I hate it.
Writing is hard work and bad for the health.
Of all fatiguing, futile, empty trades, the worst, I suppose, is writing about writing.
The dose makes the poison.
Let's face it, writing is hell.
Writing is turning one's worst moments into money.
Poison is in everything, and no thing is without poison. The dosage makes it either a poison or a remedy.
Writing is the supreme solace.
A writer has to be driven crazy to help him to see. A writer needs his poisons.
