When people ask me for secrets to writing, I say, 'Read to write.'
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I do not just write, I write what I am. If there is a secret, perhaps that is it.
You know when you're writing, and it's just you and the computer screen, and you never think that anyone is ever going to read it... you're able to say private things when you're writing.
I don't know what the secret is when I am writing it - it really is a surprise to me.
I write to explore something that fascinates me, and I write the way I do because it is the only way I know how to write.
People are always coming up to me with my books and saying, 'You write these things I think but I could never say.'
Writers sometimes write things for me and I like to see what they write because I want to see what their take on my delivery is or what they think that I can do with something. So I kind of leave that to them.
I write the way I write.
People write to me all the time, and I write back.
The secret is to write just anything, to dare to write just anything, because when you write just anything, you begin to say what is important.
I like to write in a shroud of secrecy because I have to keep finding ways to scare myself.
