More From Helen Garner

Real writers-that is, capital w writers-rarely make much money. their biggest reward is the occasional reader's response.... commentators-in-print voicing big fat opinions-you might call us small w writers-get considerably more feedback than writers. the letters i personally find most flattering are not the very rare ones that speak well of my editorials, but the occasional reader who wants to know who writes them. i always happily assume the letter-writers is implying that the editorials are so good that i couldn't have written them myself.

You know, it's a funny thing about writers. most people don't stop to think of books being written by people much like themselves. they think that writers are all dead long ago--they don't expect to meet them in the street or out shopping. they know their stories but not their names, and certainly not their faces. and most writers like it that way.
Book Thinking Long Ago
Occasionally i was so much better that i could go out; but the streets used to put me in such a rage that i would lock myself up for days rather than go out, even if i were well enough to do so! i could not bear to see all those preoccupied, anxious-looking creatures continuously surging along the streets past me! why are they always anxious? what is the meaning of their eternal care and worry? it is their wickedness, their perpetual detestable malice-that's what it is-they are all full of malice, malice!

I played maybe one and a half games of little league. the whole atmosphere of anxious parents and more anxious children was just too much for me.
