The ambivalence of writing is such that it can be considered both an act and an interpretive process that follows after an act with which it cannot coincide. As such, it both affirms and denies its own nature.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To me, writing is a considered act. It's something which is a great labor of thought and consideration.
The correctness and quality of what you write do not matter; the act of writing does.
Writing has nothing to do with communication between person and person, only with communication between different parts of a person's mind.
In many ways, writing is the act of saying 'I,' of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying, 'Listen to me, see it my way, change your mind.' It's an aggressive, even a hostile act.
Writing reminds you of how much there is in your life that stands outside your explanations. In that way, it's almost a journey into faith and doubt at once.
Writing is a way of drifting within my own mind: almost a solitary process, so to speak.
The act of writing... is the act of trying to understand why my opinion is what it is. And ultimately, I think that's the same experience the reader has when they pick up one of my books.
Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.
What can't be said can be written. Because writing is a silent act, a labor from the head to the hand.
If the desire to write is not accompanied by actual writing, then the desire must be not to write.
