Writing consists of... «Something to Declare»
Oksident12 января 2017Writing consists of laboriously taking out extraneous words (“I've used faire four times in a row—oh, shit!”) and not getting screwed by your publisher. Writing consists of complaining that there are more than the agreed number of lines per page on your proofs—“my style is dense enough without making things even harder for the reader”—and of making sure you get the correct Carthaginian circumflex: “The circumflex on Salammbô shouldn't have any sort of curve to it. Nothing could be less Punic. I insist on you making it more open.”
