It doubles your perception, to write from the point of view of someone you're not.

Writing can give full meaning to characters and avoid pure stereotype.
Ultimately, it's about the quality of the writing whatever style you are writing.
Writing requires an intense inner focus, and sometimes you need to express outward, physically or socially.
Not to sound egomaniac or anything, but just to get under people's skin like that, and for them to believe in you and believe strongly enough to write... it's flattering and it helps you during the day.
The act of writing is a kind of catharsis, a liberation, but I never really concerned myself with that. I write because it interests me.
I hate to look at the stuff I've written and consider what it means or why I do it.
We all have these tendencies in us that could go this way or that. I think that's the real key in writing. To look at a character without judgment.
Writing makes you more human.
If I'm writing strictly for others, how does that show what I'm experiencing or thinking? I just got to a point where I realized I could be as personal as I wanted to be and people could relate to those situations if they so choose.
Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.
