I feel so at home in New York that I don't have the urge to write about it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York.
I've lived my entire life in New York, and it informs everything.
I think New York is a good place to write in general because it's a grid. It's organized. You know where you are on the map. That centers you, and your imagination is perhaps freer to roam.
I like helping other writers who don't know what to do or where to go in New York.
I'm a country boy. I hate New York. But that's where things happen, so I use it as a base for stories, I know enough about it. But I have to keep going back there.
I love how New York as an idea is less a paradigm of manifest destiny and more a romance for the social orphans of the world. We live here to be among the towers and the crowds.
I am more of a New Yorker than ever and just actually, sometimes I fantasize about living somewhere else, where it's maybe not quite so crowded or stressful, blah, blah, blah and after September 11th, I guess I could just not imagine living anywhere else.
I spend a lot of time writing in New York.
I seem to only write New York stories because it's the only thing that inspires or interests me.
Practically everybody in New York has half a mind to write a book, and does.
