Generally, my writing is influenced by living, by absorbing everything that happens to me and my actions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everything in my life affects my writing. There are no separate parts of my life.
Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind.
The things I write are combinations of all of the people that have been influences to me.
It's true that your environment influences how you write.
I'm a writer who likes to be influenced.
Those who write about life, reflect about life. you see in others who you are.
Writing, for me, is very inspiration-dependent. And inspiration can be a jerk.
I think writers are observers and watchers. We always have our ears open and eyes open, so I might see something in everyday life that inspires me. And I think that's probably more than anything else. Everyday life is where I get my inspiration.
Everything I write comes from my childhood in one way or another. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder and possibility that pervaded that time of my life.
The writing part of my life never changes, because that's just when the inspiration comes.
