A writer who isn't writing is asking for trouble.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Writing requires the concentration of the writer, demands that nothing else be done except that.
A writer is somebody for whom writing is more difficult than it is for other people.
Writing is a solitary occupation. Family, friends, and society are the natural enemies of the writer. He must be alone, uninterrupted, and slightly savage if he is to sustain and complete an undertaking.
You can tell when a writer moves out of a place of struggle and into a place of comfort, and it's always a bad thing.
Writers are troubled about finding time to write and writer's block and publicizing books that aren't books yet. They agonize over how to write and what to write and what not to write.
Some writers - most, I suspect - write in isolation. I think I'd always found that quite difficult.
A writer without a reader doesn't exist.
A writer is unfair to himself when he is unable to be hard on himself.
I'm not a very good writer. I'm working at it.
Every writer I know has trouble writing.
