Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For some reason writing and drawing are very separate processes for me.
Every writer is going to end up drawing from their own experiences in one way or another.
Well, everything surprises me about the writing process because illustrating comes much more naturally to me than writing does.
I'm pretty terrible at writing, so the way I kind of therapeutically get through things is by drawing.
Although I still occasionally paint and draw, my life has now been shaped by my writing.
If you want to read and you want to draw, that helps you to express yourself.
I want to bring drawing back to the basics, make it about the pleasure that it can afford and remove the notion that it's some kind of precious or difficult activity. It's another way of telling a story.
I had never really thought of myself as a writer; any writing I had done was just to give myself something to draw.
The writing process isn't something I'm in love with. I'm an illustrator who writes.
I don't want to write, I'd rather draw.
