When I write, I talk about stories and things that are happening in my life. I come from the church. There was a time in my life when I actually had that transformation and relationship with God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I first started, everything happened at once. I became religious, my musical career took off, I got married, I had kids, and all that happened within the course of a year. I had an excitement about this newly found faith, and so I was writing about that in a very evident kind of way.
I began to write, believing that all I had to do to change things would be to write the other side, to tell the stories that I heard from my grandmother.
I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.
Everything I write comes from my childhood in one way or another. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder and possibility that pervaded that time of my life.
Sometimes I write about my own life. And sometimes I write about situations I see my friends going through. Sometimes I write about a scene I saw in a movie. I take inspiration from all different places.
I write about my life.
For me, writing stories is one way of feeling connected to the universe and God.
Generally, my writing is influenced by living, by absorbing everything that happens to me and my actions.
Other people are talking about writing books about my life, or about some of the things I've done. I find it strange, but I also feel it's my life and my story, and I guess I better be the one to get it on paper the way it actually happened.
My writing is authentic, and whatever happens in my life is what I write about.
