Writing is solitary. You spend so much time alone and in your own mind, telling stories.

It's not easy to tell a story about writers and make that feel like a complete story and an interesting story.

I guess when you write a personal story, people feel compelled to share their own stories.

Everyone has a story to tell. All you have to do is write it. But it's not that easy.

Anyone can write your own life story.

Novelists have always had complete freedom to pretty much tell their story any way they saw fit. And that's what I'm trying to do.

To share our stories is not only a worthwhile endeavor for the storyteller, but for those who hear our stories and feel less alone because of it.

Few writers are willing to admit writing is autobiographical.

Stories are different every time you tell them - they allow so many possible narratives.

I find that most people know what a story is until they sit down to write one.
