Quote

Everything that I write is sort of autobiographical, and I don't know that I'm getting better, but I'm certainly running out of time.

Life sometimes gets in the way of writing.

I write about my life.

I'm very unhappy about my entire life if my writing is going wrong.

Everything in my life affects my writing. There are no separate parts of my life.

I write about living, not dying.

There comes a point when you're writing a novel when you're in it so deep that the life of the novel becomes more real to you than life itself. You have to write your way out of it; once you're there, it's too late to abandon.

I can see a version of my life where it all becomes meaningless. On a good day, writing seems noble. Other times, it's narcissistic and pointless.

The only thing that infuriates me is that I have more unwritten stories in me than I can conceivably write in a lifetime.
