May God forgive me, but the letters of the alphabet frighten me terribly. They are sly, shameless demons - and dangerous! You open the inkwell, release them; they run off - and how will you ever get control of them again!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Writings scatter to the winds blank checks in an insane charge. And were they not such flying leaves, there would be no purloined letters.
I think it says something that I have never had an obscene letter. A young man once attempted one, but it was so totally illiterate and hopeless that it made me laugh.
I do like to explore evil characters in my books.
I'm glad I wrote them when I did because I think if I were to write my first novel now, it would be a different book, and it may not be the book that everybody wants to read. But if I were given a red pen now, and I went back... I'd take that thing apart.
Lives of great men oft remind us as we o'er their pages turn, That we too may leave behind us - Letters that we ought to burn.
Writers spend three years rearranging 26 letters of the alphabet. It's enough to make you lose your mind day by day.
I don't write that much horror. People tell me my books are scary, but they're not really; I don't go there.
I'm certainly afraid of not being able to write for some reason. I guess I've had spells of not necessarily writer's block, but something like that. I find that pretty terrifying.
I became a connoisseur of that nasty thud a manuscript makes when it comes through the letter box.
Don't fear anything for your letters, they are burnt one by one and I hope you do the same with mine.
