Quote

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.

Novel writing is solitary work.

Sometimes, a writer's life alone can tell a story.

I find it very easy to be alone. I'm a writer, for heaven's sakes!

Every writer, to some extent, writes about himself.

Writing is solitary. You spend so much time alone and in your own mind, telling stories.

I think with every writer there are two people there.

You write alone, but you write hoping that there will be readers who will connect with what you write, and it's so wonderful and amazing - I can't even tell you - when that actually happens.

Writing is a solitary occupation.

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and about all time.
