From The Courage To Write by Ralph Keyes:

"All my life, I've been frightened
at the moment I sit down to write" (24).
--G.G. Marquez

"Blank pages inspire me with terror" (24).
--Margaret Atwood

"I suffer as always from the fear of
putting down the first lines. It's amazing
the terrors, the magics, the prayers, the
straightening shyness that assails one" (24).
--John Steinbeck



"Cheever put on a business suit
then went from his apartment
to a room in the basement
where he hung his suit on a
hangar and wrote in his
underwear" (135).
