Yesterday, I found a quote via Tayari Jones with her Logical Links blog post.

“I’m not interested in writing short stories. Anything that doesn’t take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing.”

It’s a quote only a novelist would love. From Cormac McCarthy, author of the dystopian novel, The Road.

The quote comes from an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Hollywood’s Favorite Cowboy, where McCarthy talks about writing and forthcoming movie based on his book.
