Drops of Blood

"Writing is one of the few professions left where you take all the responsibility for what you do. It's really dangerous and ultimately destroys you as a writer if you start thinking about responses to your work or what your audience needs."

- Erica Jong

"Writing is easy; all you do is sit staring at a blank sheet of paper until the drops of blood form on your forehead."

- Gene Fowler

"... there are days when the result is so bad that no fewer than five revisions are required. In contrast, when I'm greatly inspired, only four revisions are needed."

- John Kenneth Galbraith
