Writing, for me, is a very fluid process. I sit down and wait for the words to come. They usually do - in buckets and waves. I look upon it as a blessing because the words come so easily.

For me, writing is a kind of coping mechanism.

Writing is the only thing in my life that doesn't get easier. It just doesn't.

Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

Writing is what I do. It's what makes me tick.

Writing makes you more human.

For me, writing is 75 percent procrastinating and 25 percent actually sitting down and working.

For me, most writing consists of siphoning out useless pre-story matter, cutting and cutting and cutting, what seems to be endless rewriting, and what is entailed in all that is patience, and waiting, and false starts, and dead ends, and really, in a way, nerve.

Writing is mentally stimulating; it's like a puzzle that makes you think all the time.

Writing, for me, is an inherent part of understanding the material on a deeper level.
