Siren voices tell me, 'You don't have to keep going on.' And then you think, 'I'm a writer. What do I do? Sit there watching my wife clean up?' I don't know. I like being a writer.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.
I kind of live like a writer. I get up and I write. I've done that my whole life.
I guess, taking away all the theatrics or the costuming and the outer layers of what I do, I'm a writer... I write.
There's an old hymn called 'How Can I Keep from Singing?' That's what writing feels like to me. I have to write. It's intrinsic to who I am. So it was a natural choice for me to try to pursue writing as a career. Truthfully, though, I still daydream about how fun it would be to ride on the back of a garbage truck.
A writer is what I am.
I love being a writer. I have a great life. I get up in the morning and pad around in my dressing gown and listen to Radio 4.
I'm a compulsive storyteller, an avid reader, and have always nurtured the secret goal of spending my life as a writer.
I don't live my life as a writer. I'm a mother, an African-American woman, and I do everything that everybody else does - cook and a little bit of cleaning.
I just have a thing for writers. Maybe it because I'm just so not a writer.
If you're a writer, you're always working.
