Zitat des Tages von Cormac McCarthy:
I don't know why I started writing. I don't know why anybody does it. Maybe they're bored, or failures at something else.
People apparently only read mystery stories of any length. With mysteries, the longer the better, and people will read any damn thing. But the indulgent, 800-page books that were written a hundred years ago are just not going to be written anymore, and people need to get used to that.
My perfect day is sitting in a room with some blank paper. That's heaven. That's gold, and anything else is just a waste of time.
Even if what you're working on doesn't go anywhere, it will help you with the next thing you're doing. Make yourself available for something to happen. Give it a shot.
I felt early on I wasn't going to be a respectable citizen.
