“Writing fiction is not self-exploration or therapy. Novels are for readers and writing them means the crafty, patient, selfless construction of effects.” Sarah Waters
Victoria adds: “Sarah is talking about the PURPOSE of a novel. Many authors find that they have, though focusing on the characters and the readers, accidentally learned important truths about themselves. But it’s important for authors to remember who matters (readers) and the ‘selfless’ part of the quote.”
“… a great many people will think of you as not having a job. ‘Oh, how wonderful - you can work whenever you want to!’ Well, yes, to a point, but generally ‘whenever you want to’ had better be most of the time or else you won’t have a roof over your head.” Poppy Z. Brite
Victoria adds: As I used to explain, yes, entrepreneurs can choose their hours - you can work any 18 hours you prefer, every day!
