American writer Paul Auster on his writing process, and making art.

“Now it’s also instinctive I’m barely aware of what I’m doing but at the same time I don’t write fast and I’ve never written fast. For me a good day’s work, and this is eight hours of work, a good day’s work is if I have one typed page at the end. One or two pages is great, three is a miracle. You know it happens maybe four times a year that I can do three pages but if I get the one page done I feel satisfied.”
