What I aspire to do, and what I try the hardest to do, is write stuff that's very personal in its way. I figure I can only say things the way I say them, so I'm trying to do something that is kind of anti-generic.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I can only write about personal stuff, about my point of view.
If you write something that's personal, there's going to be elements of yourself in it.
Writing is something I can do by myself.
I write a lot about myself.
I like to write about things that don't reflect exactly on my life.
I end up writing about all kinds of things. I never make an attempt to write about anything in particular. I don't have a little list of topics to write about.
I do write about people who are complex and are striving with something and can't quite get past their own stuff, which would be a proxy for myself because that's what the deal is with me.
I write about my life and my own experience, but I also write about things that I have no knowledge of whatsoever.
When you write, no matter what, it ends up personal.
I never sit down to write anything personal unless I know the subject is going to go beyond my own experience and address something larger and more universal.
