I write because writing is the gift God has given me to help people in the world.

I don't write for any particular kind of person.

I write to understand my circumstances, to sort out the confusion of reality, to exorcise my demons. But most of all, I write because I love it!

I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.

The act of writing is a kind of catharsis, a liberation, but I never really concerned myself with that. I write because it interests me.

At risk of sounding foully pompous I think that writers' groups are probably very useful at the beginning of a writing career.

I'm not sure there are too many people who write what I write.

I'm the most communal person that exists and a very solitary person. So I think writing is a form of getting to the community and being alone, and it's the best of both possible worlds.
