Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.

Writing is a dog's life, but the only life worth living.

It's hard to imagine my life not writing. I love it.

I think writing well takes a little bit of talent and an awful lot of work.

Most of the stuff I've written has never even gotten made. It's par for the course. It's a great living, but it also gets very frustrating.

For me, writing has always come out of living a fairly to-the-bone kind of life, just really being present to a lot of life. The writing has been really a byproduct of that.

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

I love writing. It makes me so happy.

Writing is not the easiest way to make a living. Your work long hours, usually all by yourself. It is not a way to make money.

If your purpose is to make money, you shouldn't get into writing.
