People die from typewriters falling on their heads.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am a dangerous man when turned loose with a typewriter.
A lot of writing's going down dead ends that don't go anywhere.
Characters die all the time. At times, they die amongst a reader's tears, and at others, amongst the applause, and some, still, in quiet satisfaction.
I have two vintage typewriters. One just about works and the other hasn't a hope in hell, bless it. But they're both beautiful, and they'll stay with me just as long as there's a roof over my head.
I always think that good writers should be growing up on the brink of death - it really lets them see mortality very clearly.
If the hairs on my neck stand up while I'm writing, I figure the reader will get the same kind of shock.
I always individuate myself from other writers who say they would die if they couldn't write. For me, I'd die if I couldn't read.
I know people who have gone into career death spins, and that's something you're always aware of as a writer.
One way an author dies a little each day is when his books go out of print.
People are hysterical about the death of newspapers, and I would say, 'They're not dying; they're just kind of reinventing themselves.'
