I cannot and do not live in the world of discretion, not as a writer, anyway. I would prefer to, I assure you - it would make life easier. But discretion is, unfortunately, not for novelists.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Discretion is not the better part of biography.
Discretion is nothing other than the sense of justice with respect to the sphere of the intimate contents of life.
Discretion is the polite word for hypocrisy.
Don't let anyone discourage you from writing. If you become a professional writer, there are plenty of editors, reviewers, critics, and book buyers to do that.
I don't think you can write according to a set of rules and laws; every writer is so different.
Every compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite, obedient, and sterile.
To write something, you have to risk making a fool of yourself.
I'm not a writer, and I don't want there to be any mistake about that.
That is the thing about being a writer; your subject matter may not stay your subject matter if you break their trust by revealing personal and editorialized information about them.
Discretion is the perfection of reason, and a guide to us in all the duties of life.
