Well, I think itโs extraordinarily fun to write, and I look forward to it every day, but that doesnโt mean I think itโs easy. Thereโs a difference between the two. Itโs fun in the way all worthwhile things are fun โ thereโs difficulty attached to it. I think that a writer has to accept a certain amount of frustration. Itโs inherent in the task, and you have to simply persevere. Itโs part of the definition of the work.
David GutersonI write because something inner and unconscious forces me to. That is the first compulsion. The second is one of ethical and moral duty. I feel responsible to tell stories that inspire readers to consider more deeply who they are.
