Quote

A writer without a reader doesn't exist.

If I don't create, I don't exist.

I write because I can't imagine not writing.

Writing is so entwined with my being that I can't imagine a life without it.

I feel a burden if I don't write.

I happen to write by hand. I don't even type.

You write alone, but you write hoping that there will be readers who will connect with what you write, and it's so wonderful and amazing - I can't even tell you - when that actually happens.

Writing is my salvation. If I didn't write, what would I do?

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