And I have to consider myself fortunate, because there are plenty of writers who spend most of a lifetime looking for that certain something without ever finding it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am very fortunate in that I have spent pretty much my whole life being a writer, and before I was a writer, I was a storyteller.
I just feel really fortunate to build a career as a writer.
I consider myself fortunate that I've been able to find a character that people have responded to.
Most so-called writers keep writing and writing with the hope, some day, to find something to say.
What's lucky about my career in general is that I stumbled into what every writer most wants. Not repeating myself and doing strange things has become my trademark.
I'm one of the lucky writers: plots come easily to me.
I don't know any writer for whom it comes easily. Maybe John Updike - a story would just seem to come to him whole, you know, out of a personal experience. But the rest of us, I think, are not so lucky, and I had to work hard, yeah.
I'm not one of those true writers who can't bear not to be writing. Yet it's one of the most important things in my life.
The most valuable writers are those in whom we find not themselves, or ourselves, or the fugitive era of their lifetimes, but the common vision of all times.
I've got more ideas for books than I'll ever be able to use in my lifetime. I'm very fortunate like that.
