I write very slowly.

I'm actually rather orderly, although the way that I write is not.

Vigorous writing is concise.

Writing doesn't come easily to me. It gets more and more difficult.

Writing is like playing golf - you have to keep working at your swing.

I've written what and when I want to. It's been about expressing myself. But with the degree, I had to learn to do everything in a very specific, disciplined way. I am very disciplined, but this demanded a totally different kind of discipline. A real challenge.

Writing is hard work: it is like doing homework for the rest of your life. You are always chipping away at it.

I write in a very strange way. Things are very fragmentary for a very long time, and then they come together very quickly near the end of the process.

Writing is immensely difficult. The short forms especially.
