Once I've written something it does tend to run away from me. I don't seem to have any part of it - it's no longer my piece of writing.

For me, writing is such an escape, and I felt very lucky to have this to run away to.

Writing is a way of getting at the things most people would prefer to escape. Writing takes me to the center of life. That's my invitation to my readers as well.

Writing helps me create a different world that I can escape to.

I want to get within myself and write. I really, really want to write.

Writing is something I've always done on the side. I thought that no one would be interested, so I kept it to myself.

I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it's what gets you through. So it's partly just curiosity to see what you can do.
