Is Writing Easy for You?

"I don’t find writing a particularly pleasurable experience because it exploits your short comings as an artist. In other words, you think you’ve got the story under control then you go back and read it a week later and you realize the majority of the work has been superficial. So quite often I’ll lock myself in a room, a kind of self imposed isolation and I don’t leave it until something intelligent or creative comes to the surface and quite often that can take days or weeks. It’s as though your conscious mind is trying to burrow in your subconscious for creativity and this isn’t easily attained." - Sylvester Stallone
