“It's hard to do fiction and nonfiction simultaneously.” — Erica Jong Quote

“It's hard to do fiction and nonfiction simultaneously.”

“Perhaps all artists were, in a sense, housewives: tenders of the earth household.”

“I think feminism means what it has always meant - women want to use all their gifts, all their talents and be judged impartially for them. I don't think feminism has ever meant anything else.”

“I've found that in fiction - and this is just the kind of writer I am - I can't really work from an outline. I have a vague idea of the characters at the beginning of the book, and then I have a vague idea of whatever the end of the book will be, but I can't approach creative nonfiction like that.”

“But with nonfiction, the task is very straightforward: Do the research, tell the story.”

“I really enjoy doing both, but I didn't write nonfiction until 1994.”
