Writing fiction is like spending the last year of your life getting a tattoo.

It's like experiencing real grief when your attempt to **** the snowman makes it melt.

Writing is the artform almost anyone can master.

Fiction is a concept even babies can understand.

Writing fiction is like going pro in being potty trained.

It's like sending your kids away to orphanages and expecting them to track you down later in life to say, Dad, you're beautiful. 

Writing fiction is like believing you invented foreplay.

I don't know exactly what Roberto Bolaño meant when he wrote, The killer sleeps as the victim photographs him, but if I had to guess, I'd say it's about writing fiction.

Writing fiction is like reading fiction, except you do all the work instead of half. Therefore, approximately half of those aphorisms should be applied to reading fiction too.

It's like getting a life-saving hair transplant.

It's like planting an apple seed that produces a tombstone.

It's like visiting your tombstone for something to eat.
