I'm trying to put more elements of the essay into my writing.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The essay is one of my favourite forms of writing, and I feel like what's inside is really personal, more so than with shorter pieces.
The point of the essay is to change things.
The essays are different because ultimately it's things I'm interested in, and I'm really just writing about myself and using those subjects as a prism.
I am writing a book and that takes third place of importance.
I love essays, but they're not always the best way to communicate to a larger audience.
My personal writing philosophy is to try and write better every day.
For me, writing essays is very much about processing ideas and offering them up to the reader so that they are fully cooked.
Vigorous writing is concise.
I'm just going to write because I cannot help it.
I'm just writing a story that I want to read.
