Quote

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

You write alone, but you write hoping that there will be readers who will connect with what you write, and it's so wonderful and amazing - I can't even tell you - when that actually happens.

Writing is just something I've always done. It's just kind of the reality of who I am.

Writing makes you feel better, to get it all out.

Writing is like a 'lust,' or like 'scratching when you itch.' Writing comes as a result of a very strong impulse, and when it does come, I, for one, must get it out.

I am always writing to myself.

People write to me all the time, and I write back.

It's way easier to write for other people. Yourself isn't in it. When you write for yourself, you overthink, and you become paranoid. When you write for others, it isn't about you.

Writing is solitary. You spend so much time alone and in your own mind, telling stories.

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.
