I think a writer is not an ideal husband... Writers tend to get off into their own heads and not notice the people that they're living with, or they get irritable with the people that they're living with when the people insist on being noticed.
Somebody informed me recently that the key to every art, from writing to gardening to sculpture, is creativity. I beg to differ.
The last time somebody said, 'I find I can write much better with a word processor', I replied, 'They used to say the same thing about drugs'.
I think what's really hard is making sense and making what you write clear and smooth-flowing.
