It is like writing history with lightning and my only regret is that it is all so terribly true.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to write what I remembered to be true.
So often, we don't realize that the very moments in which we live become our history, our story.
It's true that I have very little idea what I shall be writing next, but at the same time I have a powerful premonition of everything that lies ahead of me, even ten years ahead.
They say every writer really just writes about one thing over and over. I guess my one thing is how the past impacts the present.
I have a writer's memory which makes everything worse than maybe it actually was.
I think that all writing is in search of lost time. I'm starting to realise that very clearly.
Writing is a journey of discovery because until you start, you never know what will happen, and you can be surprised by what you do - expect the unexpected!
I'm not too fond of the hard work and the constant battle with self-doubt that goes on when I write, but I figure that's part of the territory.
I had finished the first draft of 'Life As We Knew It' before Katrina hit, and it was startling to see things I wrote about actually happening in the real world.
Never regret what you don't write.
