It's better for me to go up against someone's passion with my passion and then clarifying something that he wrote. Then I know how to work around certain things.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I get passionate about certain subjects, and then I'll write a whole play around it.
I always counsel aspiring novelists that passion is the most important quality for a writer to possess - technique can be taught, but that relentless desire to write has to come from within.
Whatever you have a passion for, then you must do. If you want to write, write about something you know about.
I spend several years trying to get inside the brain and heart of my subjects, listening to the interior monologues in their letters, and when I have to bridge the chasms between the factual evidence, I try to make an intuitive leap through the eyes and motivation of the person I'm writing about.
Everything I've done has had purpose and has been passionate and has been executed in the best way that I knew how. Maybe that's not the perfect way. Maybe that's not the easiest way. But it's the best way I knew how to do it.
If you're trying to write something that you don't understand and embrace at the very core of you, it's not going to turn out with quite the authenticity and passion it should have.
Everything I do is part of my passion.
Whatever you do, you do out of a passion.
Don't write something that is your passion project because all it will do is get the passion stomped out of you.
My passion lies with whatever I'm doing at the time... I only see what is front of me.
