I'm not the slowest writer that you know.

Well, I outline fanatically. I am a long thinker and a slow writer, though I am trying to get faster.

I've never been a fast writer.

I write very quickly; I rewrite very slowly. It takes me nearly as long to rewrite a book as it does to get the first draft. I can write more quickly than I can read.

I'm a very slow screenwriter. It takes time for me to write a screenplay. Also, I feel it's not my strength.

I'm not a very good writer. I'm working at it.

I write fast, I write beautifully, I write convincingly.

When you're a mid-list writer, it pays to write fast.

I write very slowly.
