I would be miserable if I went to bed without having written 1,000 words about something.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If I went for too long without writing, I would start to feel like something inside me was dying.
I'm very unhappy when I'm not writing.
I mean, what would I be doing if I couldn't write? But that fortunately hasn't proved to be the case and I can read any day. I still read a lot, and I can write any day, but much more slowly and fewer words.
I'm most happy when I am writing at night, because I need space and time to write.
I can't sit and twiddle my thumbs. I have to start writing even if it's miserable some days.
I'm not happy when I'm writing, but I'm more unhappy when I'm not.
There came a time when I felt I was not going to be satisfied with life unless I could write.
Nothing is miserable unless you think it is so.
I'm never more miserable than when I write, and never more happy than having finished and having it sitting in front of me.
I don't believe for one moment you can write well what you wouldn't read for pleasure.
