I don't think of myself as a metafictional writer at all. I think of myself as a classic writer, a realist writer, who tends to have flights of fancy at times, but nevertheless, my feet are mostly on the ground.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think it's no coincidence that people who are good at writing far-out fiction are also good at meta-fiction. Think of all the best Phillip K. Dick stories, where you experience a sort of dislocation, and suddenly what you think you've been reading is, in fact, something else entirely.
I've basically thought of myself as a writer, whether I was or not.
Of course, I have to consider that I've written a lot of prose, but I do in my heart think of myself as being originally, and still primarily, a poet.
I think of myself as a fantasy writer.
I think that like all writers - and if any writer disagrees with this, then he is not a writer - I write primarily for myself.
There are many people who say, 'I write for myself.' I think that if you write and publish, then you write for your readers, not just for yourself. Many writers say that they write to be loved. I place myself among those writers.
I don't call myself a writer.
I've never thought of myself as a writer. I still don't, despite all the writing I've done.
I don't think of myself as a writer.
I don't really consider myself a writer.
