Neil Gaiman had this yesterday - from Samuel R. Delany’s About Writing:
Writers are people who write. By and large, they are not happy people. They’re not good at relationships. Often they’re drunks. And writing — good writing — does not get easier and easier with practice. It gets harder and harder — so eventually the writer must stall out into silence. The silence that waits for every writer and that, inevitably… the writer must fall into is angst-ridden and terrifying - and often drives us mad.
A cheerful fellow. From now on, if anyone asks me about how to be a writer I’ll just punch em in the face and be done with it.
