There's a certain possessiveness of writers sometimes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every writer, to some extent, writes about himself.
I think with every writer there are two people there.
Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.
Writers are just like other people, except slightly more obsessed.
Why do writers write? Because it isn't there.
Yeah, writers do hate writing.
Every character a writer creates has some of themselves in it somewhere.
The creative impulses of man are always at war with the possessive impulses.
I think that like all writers - and if any writer disagrees with this, then he is not a writer - I write primarily for myself.
I discovered Einstein said the same thing about his celebrated theories of relativity that writers say about their work when he said he didn't have any feelings of personal possession of these ideas. Once they were out there, they came from somewhere else. And that's exactly the feeling when you write. You don't feel possessive about it.
