The idea that you're not a writer until you're published is a lie.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you want to be a writer, you write. Everybody wants to get published. You gotta play your long game.
Novel-writing is a bit like deception. You lie as little as you possibly can. That's the way I do it, anyway.
Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
To be a writer does not mean to preach a truth, it means to discover a truth.
I don't believe in writer's block or waiting for inspiration. If you're a writer, you sit down and write.
Well I'm not a novelist. I've only written one book and that is a memoir.
A writer is what I am.
I'm not a writer. I'm not smart. I couldn't possibly even write my own story.
I don't really consider myself a writer.
I don't call myself a writer.
