I can't work out much about myself or what I see in the world around me unless I do it through writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I write a lot about myself.
I always write to understand my place in the world. I can see myself and my life unfold on the page, and I can understand my strengths, my weaknesses - I can see where I need to step up a bit.
One area I have a huge amount of trouble in is writing about myself. I get a heavy, almost depressed feeling.
Everything in my life affects my writing. There are no separate parts of my life.
I just live my life and do what I want to do and don't think about what is written about me.
I don't write about myself. I'm never in my books.
When you are writing a book, it feels as if you are simply concentrating on the world of the book and that whatever is happening in your personal life is outside the room, as it were. But maybe that's just the way you have to talk to yourself to make it possible.
As a writer, you owe it to yourself not to get stuck in a rut of looking at the world in a certain way.
I'm just not that comfortable writing so much about myself.
I don't have any outside view of myself, and if I did, I would probably be creatively inhibited. I just write in the way that I write.
