My temperament is not geared to that of a novelist.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
No one connected intimately with a writer has any appreciation of his temperament, except to think him overdoing everything.
I have a bad reputation for being temperamental.
I'm not a disciplined writer.
If you are a novelist of a certain type of temperament, then what you really want to do is re-invent the world. God wasn't too bad a novelist, except he was a Realist.

I don't have the sort of temperament that submits to Christianity or Islam.
I'm not a great writer.
I don't think any novelist should be concerned with literature.
As a writer, I absorb stories, allow them to churn within my own head and heart - often for years - until I find a way of telling them that fits both my time and temperament.
I believe that, like most writers, my personality comes through in the fiction. So in that respect my writing can't be like any other author's really.
