I'm always aware of writing around things I can't do, and I've come to think that that's actually what 'style' is - an avoidance of your deficiencies.

There's nothing easy about writing. It's always difficult. It's always a struggle.

Bernard Shaw said that when you copy yourself, you know you've got style. And I feel that if you can write like you write, then you are true to yourself. And it's not an easy thing to do - it's a disgustingly difficult thing to do.

I want people to notice my writing abilities are real and that I'm not just stuck in one situation.

Writing is hard work. Generating stories that catch people's attention and holding it are very difficult.

I've always thought that writing isn't really that hard. It's having a good idea that's hard.

Writing never came naturally and I still have to force my hand to do it.

My own style is one of not much effort.

Writing doesn't come easily to me. It gets more and more difficult.

Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.
