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

Writing is one of the few activities where quantity will inevitably make quality. The more you write, the better you're going to get at it.

I do a lot of writing. People don't actually know how much writing really I do.

I write about eight hours a day, and I throw away most of what I write.

I find writing really difficult - definitely the most difficult of all the things I do.

Writing comes more easily if you have something to say.

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

Writing for me is largely about rewriting.

I don't find writing easy. That is because I do take great care; I rewrite a lot.
