When Should You Write? Philip Roth's Opinion

When I take breaks from writing I like to hang out with Finn and his mommy.
"I don't ask writers about their work habits. I really don't care. Joyce Carol Oates says somewhere that when writers ask each other what time they start working and when they finish and how much time they take for lunch, they're actually trying to find out 'Is he as crazy as I am?' I don't need that question answered." -- Philip Roth
