Like everyone else, there are days when I don't want to go to work. However, writing is a job like anything else.

I've been writing full-time since I was 23.

I haven't always been a writer and I suppose I tiptoed around the idea of writing full time, because it's so isolating.

I've been writing full-time since 1978.

Unlike a typical professional, I can't quit my job to become a full-time author; I don't have that luxury. For me, writing is therapy; if I choose to write full-time, it might start feeling like work.

I'm an author. And writers write books. And writing books is a full-time career.

My aunt could never understand how writing could be a full-time job. She'd keep asking when I'd get a real job!

As long as I'm able to actually maintain a career where I can write full-time, I'll be thrilled.

I basically never feel like writing. I am a happy-go-lucky, relaxed, fun-seeking kind of person. And working disturbs that, because it puts me in a state of anxiety.

I'm a full-time writer, which means I have the entire day to get my work done. But that can also be bad, because that means I have the entire day to get in my way.
