백승권: 걷기나 달리기에 비유하자면, 마치 조깅하듯이 탁, 탁, 탁 앞으로 치고 나가야 해요. 어떤 글들을 보면, 분명히 문장이 나가고 있는데도 내용이 안 나아가요. 마치 러닝머신을 뛰고 있는 것처럼. 어떤 것은 마치 마이클 잭슨의 문워크처럼 뒤로 가기도 하고, 어떤 경우는 문장과 문장 사이에 뭐가 있어야 하는데 이게 빠져서 갑자기 멀리뛰기를 하는 경우도 있어요.

강원국: 어떤 사람은 써야 할 때 물고기를 잡으러 나가는 사람이 있고, 어떤 사람은 평소에 잡아 뒀다가 써야 할 때 그 물고기를 써먹는 사람이 있다. 근데 한번 생각해보세요. 당장 쓸 필요가 없을 때 물고기를 잡으러 나가는 건 굉장히 즐거운 행위예요. 그렇게 해서 어딘가에 비축해 두었다가 써야 할 때 써먹으라는 거죠. 써야 할 때 물고기 잡으러 나가면 초조하잖아요. 물고기가 잡힐지 안 잡힐지 불안하기도 하고. 어차피 잡아야 할 물고기를 왜 그렇게 잡느냐는 거죠.
박사: 당장 필요하지 않을 때 물고기를 잡는 건 취미지만, 당장 필요할 때 물고기를 잡는 건 노동이죠. 글을 쓸 때 즐겁게 하느냐, 초조하게 하느냐 이 문제가 바로 여기서 갈라지는 거군요.
