Zitat des Tages von Raymond Carver:
When you're writing fiction or poetry... it really comes down to this: indifference to everything except what you're doing... A young writer could do worse than follow the advice given in those lines.
The fiction I'm most interested in has lines of reference to the real world.
In the beginning, when I was trying to write, I couldn't turn off the outside world to the extent that I can now.
Life and death matters, yes. And the question of how to behave in this world, how to go in the face of everything. Time is short and the water is rising.
When I'm writing, I write every day. It's lovely when that's happening. One day dovetailing into the next. Sometimes I don't even know what day of the week it is.
