I happen to write by hand. I don't even type.

I do write by hand. I just think - I don't know, it's a physical thing for me. It's a bodily thing. It literally has to earn its way through my hand.

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

I like the physical action of writing down by hand, and I don't just use it for writing my fiction.

Writing is the only thing in my life that doesn't get easier. It just doesn't.

Writing is never, ever easy but I wake up every morning grateful for the gift of being able to do this.

Writing is like playing golf - you have to keep working at your swing.

If I had had a thing like an iPad when I was a kid, then I never would have gotten into the habit of writing things down by hand.

Writing is really hard, and it's really a skill.

I've always written by hand. Mostly with a fountain pen, but sometimes with a pencil - especially for corrections.
