I write to understand my circumstances, to sort out the confusion of reality, to exorcise my demons. But most of all, I write because I love it!

Writing helps me to create order out of chaos and make sense of things. It helps me to understand what I've experienced, what I've felt and seen, so it becomes a little easier to handle. On the other hand, I don't want it to be just a cathartic experience, an outpouring of grief or whatever it is.

Accepting that part of the process of writing is deleting a lot of what you write is soothing, at least to me.

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.

I guess writing is a kind of therapy in the sense that there are things you need to say and you say them, and better out than in.

Writing is a way of drifting within my own mind: almost a solitary process, so to speak.

I write anywhere - when I have an idea, it's hard not to write. I used to be kind of precious about where I wrote. Everything had to be quiet and I couldn't be disturbed; it really filled my day.

Writing is sweat and drudgery most of the time. And you have to love it in order to endure the solitude and the discipline.

I write to explore something that fascinates me, and I write the way I do because it is the only way I know how to write.

When you use words, you're able to keep your mind alive. Writing is my way of reaffirming my own existence.
