I never sit down to write anything personal unless I know the subject is going to go beyond my own experience and address something larger and more universal.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you write, no matter what, it ends up personal.
If you write something that's personal, there's going to be elements of yourself in it.
Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.
Mostly, I don't write overtly personal stuff.
Of course, sometimes when you write personally, you are also writing about society, obliquely reflecting topical issues, but not in a way that people would expect you to or in the way that someone trying to make a point would.
However, please allow me to say that the fundamental style of my writing has been to start from my personal matters and then to link it up with society, the state and the world.
I'm a lot more observational than personal in my writing. My writing is mostly a lot of questions without answers.
When you start writing about the stuff that is the central experience of your own life, you can talk about whatever you want, in whatever way you want.
I can only write about personal stuff, about my point of view.
The more you're writing absolutely honestly, and absolutely bare of intention - even if it feels absolutely personal and small because it's at your own scale - other people relate to it much more.
