Every story has already been told. Once you've read Anna Karenina, Bleak House, The Sound and the Fury, To Kill a Mockingbird and A Wrinkle in Time, you understand that there is really no reason to ever write another novel.

It's an alchemical thing. Yes, we do get the gold out of it but that's not the most important thing. It's the work itself.
