Quotes from Maggie Shipstead

I, the lone inhabitant of my body and life, am inescapably large to myself, but also ridiculously, inconceivably small.

I think I'm someone who can prattle on a long time about something, which serves me well as a novelist, but it's the enemy when I'm writing short stories.

I think the posture of confidence can serve you well. I'm not sure what's to be gained by sitting at your computer and beating yourself up.
