Harlan Ellison, on writing:

People on the outside think there's something magical about writing,

that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn't like that.

You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that's all there is to it.

- Harlan Ellison.
