Quote

I think that like all writers - and if any writer disagrees with this, then he is not a writer - I write primarily for myself.

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and about all time.

Every author in some way portrays himself in his works, even if it be against his will.

Every character a writer creates has some of themselves in it somewhere.

I think all writers are mainly writing for themselves because I believe that most writers are writing based on a need to write. But at the same time, I feel that writers are, of course, writing for their readers, too.

I don't really consider myself a writer.

There are many people who say, 'I write for myself.' I think that if you write and publish, then you write for your readers, not just for yourself. Many writers say that they write to be loved. I place myself among those writers.

Every writer has to find their own way into writing.

A writer is what I am.
