For a writer it's a dream to sit and watch people as close as possible.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
That's why I love being a writer. My imagination can take me places I may never see except in my mind's eye.
Watching people toss all caution to the wind, who are ready to put their lives on the line for a dream, is something that is accessible.
If you can actually get someone to sit on the edge of their seat and feel nervous if there's a knock at the door, then you've done something pretty terrific as a writer.
If you are a writer you locate yourself behind a wall of silence and no matter what you are doing, driving a car or walking or doing housework you can still be writing, because you have that space.
Writing is a very focused form of meditation. Just as good as sitting in a lotus position.
It's so much easier to write for a person in your life than to write for some imagined readership, so you write something that's more intimate and true.
A writer's work is to witness things.
As writers, it is our job not only to imagine, but to witness.
Something in a writer's brain needs to watch everything with a detached, amoral eye.
I see the role of the writer as creating a room with big windows and leaving the reader to imagine. It's a meeting on the page.
