Similar for Creatives
Free to Write Your 1st Novel
"That pure freedom you only have when you write your first book. No one was waiting for it. No one expected it; nobody knew I was doing it. Nobody cared. There was total indifference, which I think is so beautiful and healthy for the creative process, to feel that nobody is listening and waiting and expecting."
Always Be Writing
"Writers must produce. And produce. And produce. ABW: 'Always Be Writing.' ... One book a year? Psssh. No. Focus only on novels? Not likely. Writers are no longer as free to work in a single sphere of writerly existence. Get used to writing short, long, script, game, non-fiction, etc."
Write What You Want
"The biggest for me [by self-publishing] is the freedom to write what I want when I want. I can jump genres and write several novels a year. Traditional publishing is much too restrictive. I don't want to pump out the same book over and over. I want to challenge myself and produce the work that I feel is missing from the marketplace."
nobody has the time to write a novel
"Newsflash: nobody has the time to write a novel except established novelists. And even then you'd be surprised how easily life intrudes."
a hard thing to write a book
"It is such a hard thing to write a book. It is incredibly hard. And it's a solitary, isolated thing to do. And writers need every ounce of support they can get."
