Quote

In my case, I write in the past because I'm not really part of the present. I have nothing valid to say about anything current, though I have something to say about what existed then.

I always live in the present - I love the present. I cherish the future.

Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind.

I still write the same way and have the same perspective.

I must write it all out, at any cost. Writing is thinking. It is more than living, for it is being conscious of living.

My future is in my past and my past is my present. I must now make the present my future.

I lived to write, and wrote to live.

What I write, I write. I'll always do it in some form.

I guess I'm living in the present more than the past.
