Everybody Has To Know For Themselves What

A Voice Is Such A Deep, Personal Reflection Of Character.

When I Do Work, I Feel The Same Sort Of Urgency As I Ever Did. If I Didn't Feel That, I Don't Think I Would Wish To Be Doing It. I Wouldn't Really See The Point.

If You Remain Unsettled By A Piece Of Writing, It Means You Are Not Watching The Story From The Outside; You've Already Taken A Step Toward It.

I Don't Torture Myself. And I Do The Work Because Of The Pleasure Involved. I'm Satisfying A Compulsion I Find Nigh-on Irresistible. It's Not Necessarily Because Of The Work Itself. I Just Feel The Need For A Period Of Regeneration Afterwards. Like Leaving A Field Fallow When You've Grazed Too Much On It. I Feel Depleted.

For About A Year, I Just Didn't Know What To Do. I Did Laboring Jobs, Working In The Docks, Construction Sites.
