  • This guy is as boring as his books.

  • "This guy has said nothing till near the end of that piece. Novelists are writer's, but very few writers can be Novelists, simply because they get bored with writing about the same charaters, finish up with a short story instead."

  • 'Set aside time' and 'be pushed by expectation' (deadlines?) - two of the nuggets I picked out.

  • well, i'm glad i didnt do an undergraduate writing course...
