I have learned many things in the 30 years that I have been writing.

I've learned so much as both a writer and a human.

I think the cardinal rule of learning to write is learning to read first. I learned to write by learning to read.

Writing is an exploration. You start from nothing and learn as you go.

Reading taught me how to write.

Writing is like playing golf - you have to keep working at your swing.

Writing is really hard, and it's really a skill.

Writing, for me, is an inherent part of understanding the material on a deeper level.

Writing's all I know. Frankly, I've never been able to do anything else.
