Writing Painful

More From Emma Donoghue

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
At that time, i had recently finished a book called amazing grace, which many people tell me is a very painful book to read. well, if it was painful to read, it was also painful to write. i had pains in my chest for two years while i was writing that book.
Pain Book Writing
I don't consider myself an expert in the why. i don't consider myself an expert in leadership. i consider myself a student of leadership and i consider myself a student of the why. i'm constantly learning and i'm constantly looking for opportunities where it it will fail.
Opportunity Experts Students
I don't consider writing a quiet, closet act. i consider it a real physical act. when i'm home writing on the typewriter, i go crazy. i move like a monkey. i've wet myself, i've come in my pants writing.
Crazy Real Moving
As a child i was taught that to tell the truth was often painful. as an adult i have learned that not to tell the truth is more painful, and that the fear of telling the truth - whatever the truth may be - that fear is the most painful sensation of a moral life.
Children May Taught
I think the things that are more painful to me are not the intrusion of paparazzi, it's the lack of civility that i find more intimidating and far more painful an experience. it's the lack of critical thinking. it's the endless snarky, mean way we talk about each other, we approach each other. the anonymity of being cruel, the delight in tearing people down. the tabloid era that we find ourselves in is a cultural boneyard, and that is painful to me.

Record sales don't really mean anything. for us, the pressure is imagining some 15-year-old kid in cincinnati who buys our album and doesn't feel like he wasted his pocket money.
Mean Kids Years
In ability choice education finance majorities people understanding voting a lot of voters always cast their ballot for the candidate who seems to them to be one of the people. that means he must have the same superstitions, the same unbalanced prejudices, and the same lack of understanding of public finances that are characteristic of the majority. a better choice would be a candidate who has a closer understanding and a better education than the majority. too much voting is based on affability rather than on ability.
