A fiction writer's perspective on anonymity | | I found this article quite interesting and touching. It was also refreshing to read about an author who avoided personal publicity: You'll need a New York Times sign-up to read this
There is a wonderful quote that closes the article: I'm not an athlete, but I do understand what it means to push against your own sense of endurance until a rush of energy takes you just beyond what you thought possible. Writing is like that, especially writing outside the lines.
Not always, not often, but when the rush comes, we are taken to a place at once strange and familiar, a place we didn't know we knew.
