I don't have the fear I won't be able to think of something else to write. It's what I do.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I write, I try to think back to what I was afraid of or what was scary to me, and try to put those feelings into books.
I tend to write about my anxieties - it's what I'm afraid will happen. And I write a story working it out.
When I sit at that typewriter, I have to be frightened of what I'm trying to do. I'm frightened by my own belief that I can actually get a story down on paper.
I'm certainly afraid of not being able to write for some reason. I guess I've had spells of not necessarily writer's block, but something like that. I find that pretty terrifying.
I'm afraid of only two things: being lazy and being cowardly. I get up early in the morning and go to work. I love to write.
I like writing a lot more than I used to. I used to find it scary but now I've got used to it once it gets going. I used to find it hard to start. Fear of the blank page. The first thing you write down won't bear any relation to what's in your head and that's always disappointing.
Frankly, I have always dreaded writing - there always seemed to be pain involved, unpleasant self-examination and a lot of fear.
Sometimes I panic and think I can't really write.
It takes a lot of adrenaline and fear to make me actually write.
I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
