• ...if you are writing without zest, without gusto, without love, without fun, you are only half a writer. It means you are so busy keeping one eye on the commercial market, or one ear peeled for the avant-garde coterie, that you are not being yourself. You don't even know yourself.

It's not really about employing anybody else's formulas, because you really have to find what is best for you and what you need.
