About This Quote

Writers are the exorcists of their own demons. Exorcism is a religious practice in which one attempts to expel evil spirits from the body of another person. Writers are human just like you and me, but they have to deal with demons that come from deep within them and haunt them until they find some peace and quiet and find a way to purge those demons from their minds.
