Writing is difficult all the time; the thing is to learn something every day.

Writing is a muscle that needs to be exercised every day: The more you write, the easier it becomes.

For me, writing never gets easier. It's always hard work. It doesn't matter how many words you wrote the day before, or how many novels you've completed in the last decade: every day you start fresh again with that same blank page, or that same blank screen.

The whole excitement for writing anything is quite intense. And for a day or two, you think you've done everything extremely well. The problems start on the third day, and continues for the rest of your life.

Writing is the only thing in my life that doesn't get easier. It just doesn't.

Writing is agony for me. I work at it eight hours every day, hoping to get six pages, but I am satisfied with three.

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

Writing is such a weird emotional thing. It's hard. If you sit down with a plan to write something, it's going to be harder.

The tough thing about writing is you go into a room alone, you close the door and you do your work.

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