Directing my own writing, I see that I talk way too much, and everything can happen much sooner, with much less said about it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I write easily, let's put it that way. And in a novel particularly, the characters take over. And they tell me what to say and they tell me what they're doing. And I'm a third of the way into a novel and then I just let the characters finish it for me.
With writing, I can express myself, really, and share my ideas and just let my thoughts flow out.
I have more free time than a lot of individuals, so, instead of talking, I sometimes write.
I'm a writer; it's not just what I do, but who I am.
What I write, I write. I'll always do it in some form.
Well see, I'm a good enough writer that not everybody in my books talks exactly like I do.
Most of the time, when I'm writing, I'm writing for myself. I'm thinking, 'What will my character say at this time? What will come out of her mouth?' I create individuals so real to me, I sometimes start talking to them. Then I let them loose on the page.
I started out life as a writer, and writers write in part because they don't want to talk.
I am a writer perhaps because I am not a talker.
Nothing beats novel writing because it's complete expression of you. You just control everything. Not even a movie director has that level of control.
