“Meggie Folchart: Having writer's block? Maybe I can help.
Fenoglio: Oh yes, that's right. You want to be a writer, don't you?

― Erica Jong, The New Writer's Handbook 2007: A Practical Anthology of Best Advice for Your Craft & Career

“Two things are difficult about writing a novel. Starting and finishing”
― Bangambiki Habyarimana, The Great Pearl of Wisdom
