Svona eru þessir rithöfundar

Það er forvitnilegt að blaða í bókinni: "You Know You're a Writer When..." Svona eru þær þá, þessar skapandi skepnur:

At parties, you check out the bookshelves the way other people snoop through medicine cabinets.

Writing is the only thing that makes you happy, and you hate writing.

You have an opinion on the serial comma.

You drink coffee black because Balzac did.

You're at the movies when you get an idea for your novel, so you scratch it into the bottom of you popcorn cup with a car key.

You secretly hope it will rain on your vacation.

You head for the bookstore when something goes wrong in your life.

You'd write during the long rides up the ski lift if you could figure out a way to take off your goggles, put on your reading glasses, remove your gloves, and find a pen without dropping the poles or falling off the lift.

Þarna er strax þrennt sem passar við mig. Þá hlýt ég að vera rithöfundur.

Margt af þessu hljómar kunnuglega.
