Quote

I tend to forget what I'm doing will ever be read while I'm writing it, and just get on with the task at hand.

You are just in the middle of a struggle with words which are really very stubborn things, with a blank page, with the damn thing that you use to write with, a pen or a typewriter, and you forget all about the reader when you are doing that.

I don't really read too much. It really is counter to my energy. I can't sit down and concentrate on words.

I write slowly and get distracted a lot.

Writing has been so much a part of my life that I'm really quite annoyed that I can't do as much as I used to.

I go through periods of not writing. Until there's something I can't find in the world that I need, so I write.

I kind of go in waves with reading. Sometimes I read all the time, and sometimes I can't get settled enough to focus.

I sometimes don't know what I'm writing when I start writing it, on some level.

I really don't write much anymore, and I'm not uncomfortable with that. I've tried writing and the sentences come out fine, but I write a few pages and I don't want to go on.

I think the reason I don't read is because, when I'm reading, I feel like I'm missing out on something else. You know, What are my friends doing? Where's my girlfriend?
