Quote

I don't really consider myself a writer.

I've never thought of myself as a writer. I still don't, despite all the writing I've done.

I wasn't always a novelist. I began my writing career as a journalist, working on an afternoon newspaper in Sydney, Australia, doing the crime beat and court reporting. Having grown up in a small country town, I felt as though I had nothing to write about.

I don't call myself a writer.

I'm not a writer. I'm not smart. I couldn't possibly even write my own story.

I don't think I knew I would be a writer. I wanted to become a writer, and I tried to write.

Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
