Zero Quotations | Page 7

Beginning a novel is always hard. It feels like going nowhere. I always have to write at least 100 pages that go into the trashcan before it finally begins to work. It's discouraging, but necessary to write those pages. I try to consider them pages -100 to zero of the novel.

I think at first it was not a perfect experience. There was zero student participation. He would play football and no one would be in the stadium. Football athletes were really frowned upon. ... They did a great sales job. In essence, it wasn't the case.
