Quote by Joyce Carol Oates
If you are a writer you locate yourself behind a wall of silence and no matter what you are doing, driving a car or walking or doing housework you can still be writing, because you have that space.
Summary
This quote suggests that being a writer goes beyond the act of physically writing. It emphasizes the idea that writers have a mental space, a "wall of silence," in which they constantly engage in creative thinking and processing ideas. Regardless of their physical activities, writers always have that mental space available to explore and develop their thoughts. It highlights the idea that writing is a continuous process that transcends specific moments of sitting down to write, as writers are constantly immersed in their imaginative and interpretive worlds.
