"Claim your life, own your existence. Write in spite of whatever conflict you face."
"You've got to go, 'No, I can't come into work on the weekends—[that's] when I work on my novel.' ... People deserve those dreams, and they have to fight for them. You don't want to be at the end of your life and go, 'I met all the obligations people had for me.'"
"Newsflash: nobody has the time to write a novel except established novelists. And even then you'd be surprised how easily life intrudes."
"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."
"When it comes to Internet platforms and writing websites, Anderson is blunt with her views, advising writers to replace online surfing with a writing practice."
"Your primary goal is to write a fucking whopper of a book. The lion's share of your efforts should go into that which makes you a writer: your writing."
