Notes on writing

How much it takes to become a writer, circumstances, time, development of craft , but beyond that: how much conviction as to the importance of what one has to say, ones right to say it. And the will, the measureless store of belief in oneself to be able to come to, cleave to, find the form for ones own life comprehensions. Difficult for any male not born into a class that breeds such confidence, almost impossible for a girl, a woman.
- Tille Olsen
