Quote

Writing is sweat and drudgery most of the time. And you have to love it in order to endure the solitude and the discipline.

However, please allow me to say that the fundamental style of my writing has been to start from my personal matters and then to link it up with society, the state and the world.

I'm a fairly undisciplined writer.

I'm not a disciplined writer.

I haven't got a writer's discipline.

Writing is pretty crummy on the nerves.

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

Writing is hard work: it is like doing homework for the rest of your life. You are always chipping away at it.

Writing makes you more human.
