John Updike Zitate

I should mention something that nobody ever thinks about, but proofreading takes a lot of time. After you write something, there are these proofs that keep coming, and there's this panicky feeling that 'This is me and I must make it better.'

Deutsche Übersetzung

Ich sollte etwas erwähnen, über das niemand nachdenkt, aber das Korrekturlesen braucht viel Zeit. Nachdem Sie etwas geschrieben haben, gibt es diese Beweise, die immer wieder kommen, und es gibt das panische Gefühl, dass 'ich und ich muss es besser machen'.

Write because you love it and not because it is something that you think you should do. Always write about something or somebody you know about - something that you feel deeply and passionately about. Never try and force it.
