Everything can be going well, but if I'm not writing, I'm not happy. When I'm writing well, I'm like a different person.

I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.

I love writing, and I am never as happy as when I have a week, a month - three months - with nothing to do but write.

Sometimes people ask, 'Does writing make you happy?' But I think that's beside the point. It makes you agitated, and continually in a state where you're off balance. You seldom feel serene or settled.

Good writing is good writing, and I'm so happy when I read it.

I love writing. It makes me so happy.

I like to be happy when I'm writing. If not, then how will the reader manage?

At least in my case, a very simple, regular, happy life makes for better writing.

I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
