I probably get more inspiration for human stories and idiosyncrasies than I do animal stories.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love using my imagination. I love writing about animals.
Not exactly but I get inspiration from stories which are unconventional.
I do see myself as someone who has a lot of story ideas.
Whenever I write, I try and approach my stories from some kind of universal theme or idea or emotion.
Most of my story ideas come from my childhood. Sometimes they hatch from stories my parents told me, sometimes they come from experiences in my own life, and sometimes they are inspired by mere moments.
I just think I'm better equipped to make a study of human personality than trying to get into the mind of animals.
I would just watch the animals, and their stories would roll out when I wrote.
I've always written about animals. I'm still trying to process why that is.
It seems natural to surround my fictional world with animals because my reality is full of them. When I'm sitting there conceiving a story, they just pop up.
Animals are a continuous source of inspiration and wonder to me. I would love to play a dog.
