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

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.

When writing isn't going well-then the bad thing about being a writer is that I also have the freedom and flexibility to do something badly, and no one else can fix it for me.

I'm not happy when I'm writing, but I'm more unhappy when I'm not.

I'm not a good writer. It takes me a long time to get there. I write and then rewrite and revise and do it over and over until I'm satisfied.

The great thing about being a writer is that you are always recreating yourself.

I love writing. I feel more connected to that than I do a lot of the other things.

There's a half-conscious state you enter when you're actually generating prose, and you are simply a better writer in that place. In fact it's the only place where you even are a writer.

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