I always loved writing, but never considered that I could do it professionally.

The only reason for being a professional writer is that you can't help it.

I love telling stories and I love writing so the fact that I can do it professionally is something that I've always been very grateful for.

I write because it feels good, and I don't have a deadline, and I don't have people telling me what they want me to write. Maybe if I did, I wouldn't be very good at it.

It's so much easier to write for a person in your life than to write for some imagined readership, so you write something that's more intimate and true.

I write and have done so primarily for personal pleasure.

I love writing and do not know why it is considered such a difficult, agonizing profession.

Writing is hard work; it's also the best job I've ever had.

One thing I like about trying to write is that I can possibly write myself a role. Otherwise, you're at the mercy of whatever roles are out there that people are willing to give to you.

I'm very happy with the way I write. I think I do it good. But I've never really considered myself a writer.
