Zitat des Tages von Dennis Lehane:
It's good not only to realize that you can't please all of the people all of the time, but that you don't want to. There's a certain type of reader that you don't ever want to write for.
I was not going to use writing for advertising or journalism. I would tend bar, load trucks, chauffeur - do whatever it took. But from the moment I took my first writing workshop, I was a writer.
Don't get me wrong, I love literary fiction. It's faux literary fiction I can't stand.
Catch me on a good day, I think half of my books aren't too bad. Catch me on a bad day, I think I've never written a good line.
The best thing that can happen to people entering creative professions is the dwindling of all other possibilities.
