I thought writing about somebody current would be a little closer to what I'm used to doing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Although I like the work I've done in the past, I like what I'm writing now even more.
But, if there's any aspect of my career that needs attention, it's writing.
I always like to write where I'm at in real life into whatever I'm working on.
I think I'm drawn to writing about something which feels intense and important.
I've been writing since I was really young, so I considered myself a writer for a really long time.
I write about the things I feel strongly about.
My approach is to treat writing very much as a job.
I think the crucial thing in the writing career is to find what you want to do and how you fit in. What somebody else does is of no concern whatever except as an interesting variation.
Yes, I very much like to have a personal stake in what I'm writing about.
In my case, I write in the past because I'm not really part of the present. I have nothing valid to say about anything current, though I have something to say about what existed then.
