I Don’t Think Writers Compete,

There's Nothing Like Work To Take Your Mind Off Your Worries.

I've Quit Writing Screenplay [adaptations]. It's Too Much Work. I Don't Look At Writing A Novel As Work, Because I Only Have To Please Myself. I Have A Good Time Sitting Here By Myself, Thinking Up Situations And Characters, Getting Them To Talk - It's So Satisfying. But Screenwriting's Different. You Might Think You're Writing For Yourself, But There Are Too Many Other People To Please.

I Don't Believe In Writer's Block Or Waiting For Inspiration. If You're A Writer, You Sit Down And Write.

If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite It.
