I have been struggling with the loneliness writing and hence spending hours by myself, but I try to think of these quotes whenever I have doubts, they are my mantras for finishing the novel, because whatever I am feeling is a process that every writer has to go through, even the best.
“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”
“Writing, at its best, is a lonely life…..For he does his work alone and if he is a good enough writer he must face eternity, or the lack of it, each day.”
