Meredith Maran’s just released, Why We Write, 20 Acclaimed Authors on How and Why They Do What They Do, is just what a writer needs. When you’ve invested hours, days, weeks and years and you know that you're still not finished with this book you must write, it does make you wonder.
“When I’m writing…I’m living in two difference dimensions:
this life I’m living now…and this completely other world I’m inhabiting that no
one else knows about.” - Jennifer Egan
“You’ve got to write and revise every sentence, every
paragraph, and every page over and over until the rhythm, the cadence, and tone
are properly attuned to your inner ear.” - Sue Grafton
Having been lucky enough to read a few different versions of Provenance, I can attest to the fact that it keeps getting better. Can't wait until it's out there for the rest of the world to read.
