Quote: Honest Assessment

Make an honest assessment of what it is you’re willing to sacrifice for your writing because it is quite a painful exercise, it’s so subjective. It should be a process of reasoning – you’ve been honest with yourself, you know what it is you’re prepared not to have in order that you might try to be a novelist.
- Elliot Perlman
