Quotes by Meredith Maran (?)

“الكاتبة الأمريكية تيري ماكميلان لا تقرأ المراجعات المكتوبة عن كتبها أبدًا.
تقول: أنت لديك طفل، هل ستهتم فعلًا إذا أخبرك أشخاص آخرون بأنه ليس جميلًا؟”

“My best time as a writer is any day, or any moment, when the work's going well and I'm completely absorbed in the task at hand. The hardest time is when it's not, and I'm not. The latter tend to outnumber the former. But I'm a persistent little cuss. And I soldier on.”
