came favourite later mentioned pick
If you were to ask me to pick my favourite author, well, there are so many of them, I'd really just have to say the first names that came to mind, and I'm sure that I'll later think 'Oh, I should have mentioned that one.'
certainly citizens writers
I certainly think it's very important that writers as citizens - not necessarily as writers, but just as ordinary citizens - should talk about things that matter to them.
bore destroy interest tremendous urge
Do not write if there is no tremendous urge to do so. At the heart, there must be an inspiration or muse or one of those old-fashioned things. Else, why bore yourself, destroy other people's interest and kill trees?
contains current listen music noticed
As for what I listen to after writing, it could be anything - but I've noticed that if the current book contains music from one tradition, it is music from another tradition that most relaxes me.
fan finished peace quite war
On the whole, I don't like reading long books. I'm not a fan of 'Ulysses.' And I haven't quite finished 'War and Peace.'
compelled shy simply tackled
If I'm compelled to do something, I don't shy away from it simply because I haven't tackled it before.
alright somewhere
The problem with too beautiful a view is that it's alright for the mulling stage. But for the writing stage, you want to be somewhere without a view, especially if it is very different from what you're writing.
concerned far impulse main point sure tends writer writers
The point really is that a writer tends to write a book that he or she tends to write. It's as simple as that. Of course, it's important to make a living and all that, but the main impulse as far as I'm concerned - and I'm sure as other writers are concerned - is to tell a story that I feel impelled by.
hundred inch shallow somebody whereas writes
If somebody writes clearly, you can pretty much tell immediately if something is shallow or deep, whereas if they write with all this duckweed on the surface, you can't tell if the stream is one inch deep or a hundred fathoms.
affects careful characters issues land novel position tract women worthwhile
I am careful about fiction. A novel is not a tract or an essay. If I want to write about land reforms, or Hindu-Muslim relations, or position of women, I can do it as it affects my characters as in 'A Suitable Boy.' I could only write about issues specifically through essays. But I'll do that only if I have something worthwhile to say.
force ought
After 'A Suitable Boy,' I didn't write anything, not even a short story. I thought to myself: 'I ought to start writing.' But I can never force myself to write.
ahead allow burning conditions cool county outdoor stuff
If you live in a county where they do allow you to do outdoor burning and you know you have a lot of stuff to burn, go ahead and do it now while conditions are cool and wet.
ball besides game hitting seeing single stuff
If you go out here and play a game every single day, you can't think about stuff like that. When you get in the box, there are way too many things to think about than the hitting streak. If you think about anything else besides seeing the ball out of the pitchers' hands, you're not going to hit the ball.
bad business depend economy financial good group handful interests jobs northeast owners people plant power progress saying seen small special stake teeth thousand whose
It's the same story we've seen a thousand times before: A small group of big power plant owners gnashing their teeth because they have a vested financial stake in business as usual. It's a handful of special interests saying that progress is a bad thing. Well, progress is a good thing for the Northeast economy and the people whose jobs depend on it.
