Quote

I often start writing in order to excite an expansive emotion.

What I like about writing is the sense of godlike power it gives you.

I try to transmit emotion and soul in my voice, but my true passion has always been writing. I feel more like a writer than anything else.

I find writing very difficult. It's hard and it hurts sometimes, and it's scary because of the fear of failure and the very unpleasant feeling that you may have reached the limit of your abilities.

I write really scathing, angry stuff when I'm in a better mood, and then uplifting and happy stuff when I'm at the absolute bottom.

Generally, I think most of my writing tends to have some kind of magical element to it. That's the way I can access the emotional life of the character.

You have to write badly to write at all. If it's crappy, I will rewrite it later. But it will be mine. You can hear the resonance of an artist who goes into herself.

Writing is a solitary profession; you are really alone when you write. Then the emotions become well shaped and distinct. But their transition into words must be done deliberately and with rigid artistry.

I love writing. It makes me so happy.

I am always writing. It is not always good, but if I am writing, I am usually happy.
