I always write what feels really true and honest and me.

I write about the things I feel strongly about.

I write about my life.

I write a lot about myself.

All I write about is what's happened to me and to people I know, and the better I know them, the more likely they are to be written about.

I write a lot about other people, like family and friends. I look at their lives and relationships and think, 'Well, if I was in your position, this is how I would see it.'

To some extent, I draw on what I see around me; in other places, I imagine what I write.

I'm writing about real things. Real people. Real characters. You have to believe what I write about is true or you wouldn't pay any attention at all. Sometimes it's me, or a composite of me and other people. Sometimes it's not me at all.

I love to write what I see and what I do and what I experience, and I like to see if people can relate to that. I don't know if I am as good at making up a story in my head that has no truth to it, so that is a challenge for me.

I enjoy looking back on my life. I'm thinking seriously about starting to write about it.
