Ich schreibe / I Write Kritik / Critics Leser / Readers Problem Schreiben / Write Sentimentalität / Sentimentality
Nothing I write ever has a moral. If it seems to a reader that there is one, that is unintentional.
I read for the sensation of becoming another person; I write for the same sensation.
I don't use a pen. I write with a goose quill dipped in venom.
I need complete silence when I write.
What I would not like is to be ignored. I write from the heart. I don't write for me. I write for my readers.
I write songs for people who drive in cars. I really do.
Readers are paramount. I live to write books for them.
The one reader I'm trying to please as I write is me, and I'm pretty difficult to please.
Sometime I write a song off a central idea, instead of emotion.
