“Writing a book is a bit like surfing . .
. Most of the time you’re waiting. And it’s quite pleasant,
sitting in the water waiting. But you are expecting that the result
of a storm over the horizon, in another time zone, usually, days old,
will radiate out in the form of waves. And eventually, when they show
up, you turn around and ride that energy to the shore. It’s a
lovely thing, feeling that momentum. If you’re lucky, it’s also
about grace. As a writer, you roll up to the desk every day, and then
you sit there, waiting, in the hope that something will come over the
horizon. And then you turn around and ride it, in the form of a
story.” ― Tim Winton
