If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.

Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.

If you wish to be a writer, write.

The great thing about being a writer is that you have a long, perhaps frighteningly long time in which to do your work.

I've been writing since I'm five years old. I've been writing books since high school - junior high, high school. I write every single day. I never thought I'd be published.

I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.

I write slowly by hand. Publishing is effectively bankrupt for you unless you are Danielle Steele. It takes a year to write book and advances are going down or disappearing.

I've lost track of the number of people who want to be writers but never actually write anything. Talking about writing, dreaming about writing, can be very fun, but it won't get a book written. You've got to write.

A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.
