Quote

I spent 20 years of my career primarily being a writer for hire.

I like being a writer.

It's not like being a writer is a very lucrative career, but you know, you just know when you've found what you're really meant to do.

I've carved out a career for myself really as a writer.

Writing, for me, has always been a way of not having a career.

I love being a writer. What I can't stand is the paperwork.

I wanted to be a novelist for so long.

I think I write fiction for the opportunity to get beyond the limits of my own life.

I just feel really fortunate to build a career as a writer.
