The best books come from someplace inside. You don't write because you want to, but because you have to.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I write a book, I'm making it the best book I can.
I'd always been a big reader, and I loved books, and I always thought writing would be a great way to get by in the world.
I was always writing the books that I wanted to write, books that demanded to be written at the time. But, like most writers, you start off feeling your way.
I have a lot of books I want to write.
The hardest thing in the world for a writer is to amass a readership. So many good books come out, and so many good books disappear.
All writers I know are readers first and foremost, and that's why you become a writer.
I always want to write something better than the last book.
I love deliberately badly written books.
Every well-written book is a light for me. When you write, you use other writers and their books as guides in the wilderness.
I try very hard to write the best book I possibly can, every time.
