Writing has always felt like a compulsion. Even at high school there'd be times when people would ask me if I wanted to go and hang out and I'd sit home and write instead.

Writing is my primary way of expressing myself.

Writing is a necessary thing for me, just to keep myself level. It has beneficial effects on my life.

I write because it feels good, and I don't have a deadline, and I don't have people telling me what they want me to write. Maybe if I did, I wouldn't be very good at it.

Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.

Writing is something I can do by myself.

I'd always liked to write, but I never wanted to be a writer, because it seemed a sissy occupation. It is. To this day, I find it terribly easy. And so, rather than trying to hunt up a text, I just wrote one.

If you really want to write, then shut yourself in a room, close the door, and WRITE. If you don't want to write, do something else. It's as simple as that.

I like to write. I love to write. But I write just for myself and my own pleasure.

Writing requires an intense inner focus, and sometimes you need to express outward, physically or socially.
