Once I start writing about something, it goes off rather fast, and sometimes details which might be interesting such as what the room looked like or what somebody said that was not exactly on the same subject tend to get lost.

I'm not the most detailed writer. I have a tendency to be more action-oriented vs. descriptive.

I think writing is really about a journey of understanding. So you take something that seems very far away, and the more you write about it, the more you travel into it, and you see it from within.

Sometimes I try to concentrate on the story I would like to write, and I realize that what interests me is something else entirely, or, rather, not anything precise but everything that does not fit in what I ought to write.

I believe in focusing on details.

For me, when I read a book, I'm very much about detail.

Writing requires an intense inner focus, and sometimes you need to express outward, physically or socially.

I don't write about the same thing every time, everyday, different things are happening out there and if you take the time to look around, you can see that, then you can put it all together and tell the story.

When you start writing about the stuff that is the central experience of your own life, you can talk about whatever you want, in whatever way you want.

In writing, one searches, and that is what keeps one writing, that one sees and experiences things from another angle entirely; one experiences oneself during the process of writing.
