It's easier to write from my own life, and it's also more fun. I always write about relationships, for instance, whether they're romantic relationships, friendships, encounters... there's always a lesson to be learned from them.

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.
I write in order to find out what I truly know and how I really feel about certain things. Writing requires me to go much deeper into my thoughts and memories than conversation does. Writing provides the solitude necessary to reflect on being in this world.
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.
I like to write with people I have a relationship with; otherwise it's kind of scary, and you hold back because you don't want to pour your guts out to someone you never met.
For me, writing is a love-hate relationship.
With relationships, I've been through a lot of different situations with different people, and I write about it.
Writing is solitary. You spend so much time alone and in your own mind, telling stories.
Writing helps me to create order out of chaos and make sense of things. It helps me to understand what I've experienced, what I've felt and seen, so it becomes a little easier to handle. On the other hand, I don't want it to be just a cathartic experience, an outpouring of grief or whatever it is.
We like writing with each other; it's fun.
I like writing because you can make things happen and turn out the way they never do in real life.
