I'm always writing a new book even when books are being shopped around, and none of my books has been published in the order that they have been written.

More quotes by Douglas A. Martin
As a gay writer and someone who began by writing autobiographical fiction, it's hard to get away from chatter of You're just a narcissist, You're just a gay man, You're just looking for yourself in somebody else, Why does your boyfriend look like you, a kind of baggage that you already have to create in the face of.
Douglas A. Martin
William Faulkner was the master of what one must do to be serious. But I don't understand why people haven't moved forward from that, why that's not where the line in the sand is that you would see from. When I think about the reception of my own writing and what seems difficult, there is an actual precedent.
