Writing is a muscle that needs to be exercised every day: The more you write, the easier it becomes.

I don't write every day. I write when I want to write.

Writing is difficult all the time; the thing is to learn something every day.

There are days when I intentionally don't write. For instance, I never write when I'm traveling, because travel is a situation where I can learn more by looking and listening than by working.

Writing requires the concentration of the writer, demands that nothing else be done except that.

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

Writing comes more easily if you have something to say.

Of all fatiguing, futile, empty trades, the worst, I suppose, is writing about writing.

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

Writing is hard work: it is like doing homework for the rest of your life. You are always chipping away at it.
