A Quote by Rita Mae Brown

Not until my middle thirties did I consider myself a novelist. — © Rita Mae Brown
Not until my middle thirties did I consider myself a novelist.
The novel, for me, was an accident. I really don't consider myself a novelist.
In a weird way, I never wanted - I don't consider myself a very good writer. I consider myself okay; I don't consider myself great. There's Woody Allen and Aaron Sorkin. There's Quentin Tarantino. I'm not ever gonna be on that level. But I do consider myself a good filmmaker.
Salvation is an individual relationship with God. I've always considered myself to be a devotional poet, and I consider myself to be a devotional novelist.
I don't really consider myself a novelist, it just came out purely by accident.
I am a man and alive. For this reason I am a novelist. And, being a novelist, I consider myself superior to the saint, te scientist, the philosopher, and the poet, who are all great masters of different bits of man alive, but never get the whole hog....Only in the novel are all things given full play.
I consider myself foremost a novelist with the intent of crafting stories that people will remember.
I read comics and I did science, and never really put them together until I accidentally found myself in the middle of one.
The use of isoquants to describe the production function did not develop to any great extent until the thirties.
As long as I continue to take myself seriously, how can I consider myself a saint? How can I consider myself a contemplative? For the self I bother about does not really exist, never will, never did except in my own imagination.
There is probably no greater idler than myself. And I would consider myself a lazy-bones if I did not write so many volumes, and if I did not admire my diligence once I begin writing.
I consider myself a Londoner first, and then I consider myself Brazilian before I consider myself English.
I like to think of myself as an unmediated novelist - or perhaps a national novelist.
I like the idea of being a novelist. I picture myself on the coast, the wind in my hair, horses galloping around me as I sit at my typewriter in the middle of a field.
I'm a middle-class, middle-brow novelist. And that's it. It amuses me.
I still consider myself a middle-class girl.
Only a great genius like the Victorian novelist Elizabeth Gaskell can be mother, wife and novelist without solitude. I couldn't write until my youngest child went to school, and then I began - the first morning - and I've never stopped.
