When I'm writing, I'm in an isolation chamber. I'm not one to think about that outside world stuff when I'm writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always been attracted to themes of isolation in my work - in my independent work and my DC work.
When you're writing, it's as if you're within a kind of closed world.
I find it very easy to be alone. I'm a writer, for heaven's sakes!
I guess I usually write when I'm in a really intense headspace, because it's my form of self-therapy.
I write anywhere - when I have an idea, it's hard not to write. I used to be kind of precious about where I wrote. Everything had to be quiet and I couldn't be disturbed; it really filled my day.
Writing is solitary. You spend so much time alone and in your own mind, telling stories.
I began my writing career in a very isolated place and time.
When I'm writing, I write all day. Other days, I sit around thinking. Or I run around from one meeting to another, out in the world. It varies, and I like that.
For me writing is that place where I can escape; it's where I let my thoughts run wild.
I write about outsiders. I write about people who are outside and don't know quite how to get in because it's how I've always felt.
