There is no other way of writing a novel than to begin at the beginning at to continue to the end.

Novel writing wrecks homes.

Novel writing is far and away the most exhausting work I know.

هناك مرة أولى وأخيرة لكل شيء !

I have heard of novels started in the middle, at the end, written in patches to be joined together later, but I have never felt the slightest desire to do this.

This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.
