Quote

I think all writers are mainly writing for themselves because I believe that most writers are writing based on a need to write. But at the same time, I feel that writers are, of course, writing for their readers, too.

It's way easier to write for other people. Yourself isn't in it. When you write for yourself, you overthink, and you become paranoid. When you write for others, it isn't about you.

You write alone, but you write hoping that there will be readers who will connect with what you write, and it's so wonderful and amazing - I can't even tell you - when that actually happens.

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.

Really, as a writer, I believe that if you're going to write about your own life, you need to do it as honestly and candidly as you are capable.

I've never thought of myself as a writer. I still don't, despite all the writing I've done.

Every writer, to some extent, writes about himself.

I write for myself things that I've gone through.
