“I don’t like to write. I like having written.” 

This quote has been attributed to Dorothy Parker and to fantasy writer George R.R. Martin as well. My brother thought it was George Plympton.  Maybe they all said it. But who said it first?

The ‘Quote Investigator’ (can you believe there’s such a person/entity/thing?) found that the honour belongs to novelist Frank Norris, who died soon after the turn of the twentieth century. The comment was pulled from a letter discovered in 1915, years after his death. 

Too witty not to borrow it, I guess. But how true was/is it?
