Once I've written something it does tend to run away from me. I don't seem to have any part of it - it's no longer my piece of writing.

I guess my writing has changed as my life has.

For me, writing has always come out of living a fairly to-the-bone kind of life, just really being present to a lot of life. The writing has been really a byproduct of that.

For me, writing is such an escape, and I felt very lucky to have this to run away to.

I think it's always an adjustment for me, but I do feel like, ultimately, I can kind of write anywhere. It just takes a second to get back in to the groove.

Writing is still on my slate.

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

I realised that I had always been writing things that other people wanted me to write and not what I really wanted to write, so I felt like I was losing my way.
