Quote

I can see a version of my life where it all becomes meaningless. On a good day, writing seems noble. Other times, it's narcissistic and pointless.

You know you lose a lot of social skills if you're a writer. You spend too long alone. And its forced me to address that.

Writing is a solitary endeavor, but not a lonely one. When you write, your world is populated by the characters you invent, and you feel those people filling your life.

I just have a thing for writers. Maybe it because I'm just so not a writer.

When I started to be a writer, I was not going to run the risk of boring you.

I don't do all that well in the writerly world. I'm happier being outside the flow.

There's always this sense of incredulity that writers feel, because they're usually living flat and ordinary lives, because they have to.

I try to read writers who are better than me because it inspires me to be better.

Honestly, I find writing to be a very lonely job.

I started out life as a writer, and writers write in part because they don't want to talk.
