That's Not Writing, That's Typing

Truman Capote dismissed the Beat writer Jack Kerouac's work with the snipe, "That's not writing, that's typing." Then later Capote said this about his writing:

One day I started writing, not knowing that I had chained myself for life to a noble but merciless master. When God hands you a gift, he also hands you a whip; and the whip is intended solely for self-flagellation... I'm here alone in my dark madness, all by myself with my deck of cards --- and, of course, the whip God gave me.

I think I'd rather be a typist...
