To me, writing is remembering something funny that happened, or maybe something I said seven years ago.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been writing, in one way or another, for as long as I can remember.
And I love writing; I've been writing ever since I was seven.
In the sense that writing is to retrieve the past and stop the passing of time, all writing is about loss. It's not nostalgia in the sense of yearning to bring back the past, but recognition of the erosion of things as you live.
Writers are rememberers.
I've been writing since I was 7, but before that, I was orally making stories.
I've never written anything that hasn't been in my mind for a long time - seven or eight years.
My feeling is that writing is, for me, a pathological condition. That could sound like a mystical experience, and it may be a mystical experience, but I have learnt just to go with it.
I have a writer's memory which makes everything worse than maybe it actually was.
Writers know that sometimes things are there in the drawer for decades before they finally come out and you are capable of writing about them.
I have to always remember, writing is really hard.
