Writing is the beast unto itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Let's face it, writing is hell.
Writing has to support itself.
Writing is inherently scary.
The writer isn't made in a vacuum. Writers are witnesses. The reason we need writers is because we need witnesses to this terrifying century.
Of all fatiguing, futile, empty trades, the worst, I suppose, is writing about writing.
Books and all forms of writing are terror to those who wish to suppress the truth.
Writing is taking a risk, and it is actually fighting invisible and invincible enemies. They are over-confidence, stupidity, expectation and narcissism.
The desire to write grows with writing.
The act of writing is a way of tricking yourself into revealing something that you would never consciously put into the world. Sometimes I'm shocked by the deeply personal things I've put into books without realizing it.
Writing is the supreme solace.
