Why do I write? It's not that I want people to think I am smart, or even that I am a good writer. I write because I want to end my loneliness.
Usually I write about what I care about, which is a weakness but I think also a strength.
For me, life is writing and I can do it anywhere. It doesn't matter where I am. I listen. I write. I live.
I can't remember why or how I started writing, but I think it was always a way of making sense of the world.
I think technique can be taught but I think the only way to learn to write is to read, and I see writing and reading as completely related. One almost couldn't exist without the other.
Writing for me is definitely a form of ventilation - a way for me to cope and deal with emotions. I think it is for any writer.
I don't like to use writing assignments, exercises. I think too often people get comfortable writing in that vein, but you can't go on to write a novel comprised of short writing exercises.
I think I'm drawn to writing about something which feels intense and important.
Well, I think everything I've ever read contributes to the background from which I write.
