About This Quote

When you write a novel, then you are actually finding out what’s going on in your own head. Your job is to put your thoughts onto paper. Novels are not just about writing but also about revising it over and over again until you feel that the words do not express the story well enough. It is important to write about what you know, so that your readers can understand it fully. Novels are also a good way for you to review what’s going on in your life and reflect upon them to see if they are true or not.
