Tom Rachman Zitate

At the outset, my notion of being a writer was that you would have moments of inspiration and moments of frustration, when you'd crumple up your pages and toss them away. On one side, the dustbin would fill up, and on the other side, pages would rise into a novel.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Zu Beginn hatte ich die Vorstellung, Schriftsteller zu sein, dass Sie Momente der Inspiration und Momente der Frustration haben würden, wenn Sie Ihre Seiten zusammenfalten und sie wegwerfen würden. Auf der einen Seite würde sich der Mülleimer auffüllen und auf der anderen Seite würden sich Seiten zu einem Roman entwickeln.

I tell my students that with a 200-page novel, you are going to write 100 pages that don't make the final cut. See it as an opportunity, although it took me a while to enjoy that 'lost in the woods' feeling.
