How to use novelist in a sentence?

1. F Scott:

   There was never a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn't be. He is too many people if he's any good.

2. Anthony Burgess:

   Novelists are perhaps the last people in the world to be entrusted with opinions. The nature of a novel is that it has no opinions, only the dialectic of contrary views, some of which, all of which, may be untenable and even silly. A novelist should not be too intelligent either, although he may be permitted to be an intellectual.

3. Dan Jenkins:

   I've never considered myself a novelist even though I've written a number of books and happily made some money, i've always considered myself a journalist first or a sports writer first and always will. That's the business I've loved. It's the only thing I ever wanted to do.

4. H. L. Mencken:

   Henry James would have been vastly improved as a novelist by a few whiffs of the Chicago stockyard.

5. H. L. Mencken:

   Historian: an unsuccessful novelist.
