Writing is incredibly important to me as a way of handling the world, understanding how it works.

Writing makes you feel better, to get it all out.

Writing is a necessary thing for me, just to keep myself level. It has beneficial effects on my life.

Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.

For me, writing is a kind of coping mechanism.

My writing process is a mix of research, personal experiences, washing the dishes, raising kids while thinking - then writing.

My writing process, such as it is, consists of a lot of noodling, procrastinating, dawdling, and avoiding.

Writing is a very calming thing for me.

Writing is something that's great because you get to write every thought that's on your mind; you take your time.

Writing is like playing golf - you have to keep working at your swing.
