If you know somebody is going to be awfully annoyed by something you write, that's obviously very satisfying, and if they howl with rage or cry, that's honey.

Writing makes you feel better, to get it all out.

I'm one of those people who has to write. If I don't write, I feel itchy and depressed and cranky. So everybody's glad when I write and stop complaining already.

I love when I'm writing and I'm cringing because I know I'm doing something right.

Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

I've always written about things that cause me to feel something.

I don't want to write every week, it's too much trouble, and I shall only write when I want something. If you think I'm sick when I don't write, you can send for me to come and tell you.

When something irritates me, I don't go home and write; I just don't do that.

I've always associated the moment of writing with a moment of lift, of joy, of unexpected reward.
