No one touches me when I write my story, unless I hire you to or I allow you to.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To write a story, I think you really have to open yourself up to the world.
I love bouncing my words off of someone else's, and the fact that writing a story with someone else guarantees you'll get something you never, ever would have written on your own.
If something in your writing gives support to people in their lives, that's more than just entertainment-which is what we writers all struggle to do, to touch people.
Stories are the only thing that I can be bothered with. It's the only way that I can do anything, even if I'm quite useless. It's the only area in being human where I could be a little useful.
Every story takes its toll on me and leaves an impression on me.
My stories are never quite good enough.
I allow no one to touch me.
I am a big proponent of being in touch with everyone even when I do not have a story to ask about.
Every story I create, creates me. I write to create myself.
A whole bunch of agents and editors looked at my stories, and they all said, in effect, 'You're a pretty good writer and you should probably get these published; when you grow up and write a novel, get in touch.'
