I'd always liked to write, but I never wanted to be a writer, because it seemed a sissy occupation. It is. To this day, I find it terribly easy. And so, rather than trying to hunt up a text, I just wrote one.

I'm very fortunate to be doing what I dreamed of, what I love. So few people get that opportunity. So while people continue liking what I write, I'm going to happily continue.

I'm a writer, and I will write what I want to write.

I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure.

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.

I like surprising myself. I don't want to do the norm, do what I'm always known to do, write how I like to write.

I actually started writing publishable stuff the day I decided I'd actually like to write something I'd like to read, and stopped trying to think what does everyone actually want.

What I write, I write. I'll always do it in some form.

I write because it feels good, and I don't have a deadline, and I don't have people telling me what they want me to write. Maybe if I did, I wouldn't be very good at it.

I write because it's my way of finding cool ideas, thinking through hard problems and things I don't understand, and getting better at something.
