Quote

I have written only what I have thought through, felt through and suffered through.

Frankly, I have always dreaded writing - there always seemed to be pain involved, unpleasant self-examination and a lot of fear.

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 for myself things that I've gone through.

Most things I go through I have to write about.

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

There are lots of things that happen to me that I don't write about.

Everything I write is based on something I've personally experienced, or things that my friends have experienced that I just find horribly entertaining.

I had gone through a really rough patch in my life, struggling with anxiety and depression for the first time ever, and it was totally new to me. I really had no idea what was going on, and it was all I could think about, so it was all I could write about.

I don't write anything that I hadn't experienced or hadn't been through.
