Writing is the only thing that, when I do it, I don't feel I should be doing something else.

Writing gives me the opportunity to explore ideas, play with language, solve problems, use my imagination, and draw on my own childhood.

Early on, it's good to develop the ability to write. Learning to write is a useful exercise, even if what you're writing about is not that relevant.

Writing is such a good thing to do because you can't really get bored with it. If you're bored with writing, you're bored with life.

I write in order to find out what I truly know and how I really feel about certain things. Writing requires me to go much deeper into my thoughts and memories than conversation does. Writing provides the solitude necessary to reflect on being in this world.

Writing is incredibly important to me as a way of handling the world, understanding how it works.

I write as a way of keeping myself going. You build your life around writing, and it's what gets you through. So it's partly just curiosity to see what you can do.

Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

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

Perhaps it would be better not to be a writer, but if you must, then write.
