It's very hard to articulate the things that are important about writing.

You can't sit down and decide what you want to write about.

When I sit down to write, I don't think about writing about an idea or a given message. I just try to write a story which is hard enough.

I think I'm drawn to writing about something which feels intense and important.

I write about the things I feel strongly about.

I end up writing about all kinds of things. I never make an attempt to write about anything in particular. I don't have a little list of topics to write about.

Great writing is great writing. It's as simple as all that.
