Don DeLillo:

"I've never thought about myself in terms of a career... I don't have a career, I have a typewriter."

"Writing is a form of personal freedom. It frees us from the mass identity we see in the making all around us. In the end, writers will write not to be outlaw heroes of some underculture but mainly to save themselves, to survive as individuals."

I know I don't consider myself a career-writer. But is that maybe what I want? Or is it purely about me and my writing? Do I use my writing to survive as an individual?

Hmm...
