Thomas Walsh(1908-1984)

One good thing is that you can work wherever you hang your hat, but writing is a frightening business, you sit down there with a blank piece of paper and you have to fill it. A doctor or lawyer or insurance man gets out and talks to people, but a writer just sits by himself and writes.
