"There is so much more to 'being a writer' than putting words to paper. The process that a writer endures is wholly intensive, an all-consuming effort that can define one's day, week, month, year."
"When work does not go well, no life is more miserable than that of a writer. But when it goes go well, when the illumination has focused a work so that it goes limpidly and flows, there is no gladness like it."
"Quite frankly, I'm tired of writers complaining how tough it all is. Man up. It's a wonderful and privileged way to live your life. Embracing difficulty is just part of it all."
"Claim your life, own your existence. Write in spite of whatever conflict you face."
"Be regular and orderly in your life, so that you may be violent and original in your work."
"The truth remains: writers write, but they must be prepared to do so much more."
