Quote

I never intended to become a writer.

I never wanted to be a writer.

I never wanted to be anything but a writer, and I never let go of it.

For me, being a writer was never a choice. I was born one. All through my childhood I wrote short stories and stuffed them in drawers. I wrote on everything. I didn't do my homework so I could write.

One doesn't choose to become a writer. One is just born that way.

Writing happened to me. I didn't decide to start writing or to be a writer. I never wanted to be a writer.

I was always attracted and repelled by the idea of being a writer.

I never set out to be a published writer.
