If I'd learned nothing else, it was this: If you want to be a great writer, be a man. If you can't be a man, write like one.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
As I have encountered difficult moments in my own life, I have been privileged to learn from the great men I have come to know as a writer.
I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.
If you wish to be a writer, write.
They had always told me that I wrote like a man.
However great a man's natural talent may be, the act of writing cannot be learned all at once.
It's very hard to be a gentleman and a writer.
Personally, I have never wished I were a male novelist.
I think there have always been male writers, female writers. As a reader, I never picked up a book and said, 'Oh, I can't read this - it's about a male,' and set it back down.
If you can be anything else but a writer, be it.
