Writing Quotes by Donald Ray Pollock

As for how I feel about any success I’ve had, I just feel extremely lucky. Writing is a tough racket, and there are a lot of writers out there better than me who can’t seem to catch a break.

I don’t think writing fiction has changed my worldview.

I had this bad habit of not writing out a first draft and going back. For me it was the first sentence, then the second sentence, and I might be several weeks on the first page instead of writing a draft and trying to figure it out from there.

I look upon [writing about religion] as a nice way to get by in this precarious world, though I’ve never been able to do it myself.

I sort of like writing about weird characters, I guess.

I’m not sure I would have ever decided to try to write when I was forty-five if I hadn’t already gotten that degree [in English].
