The way to write a book is to actually write a book. A pen is useful, typing is also good. Keep putting words on the page.

More quotes by Enright, Anne

Imagine that you are dying. If you had a terminal disease would you finish this book? Why not? The thing that annoys this 10-weeks-to-live self is the thing that is wrong with the book. So change it. Stop arguing with yourself. Change it. See? Easy. And no one had to die.
