• Me voy a un hotel e intento llegar antes de las cinco y media de la mañana. Guardo un diccionario, un diccionario de sinónimos, una biblia, una baraja de cartas, una botella de jerez y montones de blocs de notas adhesivas amarillas. Me encierro seis o siete horas. Tengo un acuerdo con el hotel por el que nadie puede entrar en mi habitación. Al cabo de tres o cuatro meses, puede que pasen notas por debajo de mi puerta del tipo: "Querida Sra. Angelou, por favor, permítanos cambiar las sábanas. Creemos que se están enmoheciendo". Probablemente sea verdad. Les dejo entrar si prometen no tocar nada más que la cama.

Escribir es un trabajo. También es un juego. No tienes un plan de pensiones. Otras personas pueden ayudarte un poco, pero básicamente estás solo. Nadie te obliga a hacerlo: tú lo has elegido, así que no te quejes.
