I'm a workaday writer.

I'm not the kind of writer that can write eight hours a day... I'm the kind of writer that the more time I have, the less efficient I am.

If you're a writer, you're always working.

A writer is what I am.

I'm a fairly undisciplined writer.

Still, something about writing made me spend large hours of my free time at my desk.

I'm still very blunt: If you want to be a writer, get a day job. The fact that I have actually been able to make a living at it is astonishing.

I'm an author. And writers write books. And writing books is a full-time career.

You don't find time to write. You make time. It's my job.

I've had menial jobs, and 'professional writer' isn't one of them.
