There are no laws for the novel. There never have been, nor can there ever be.
There's a great freedom in writing by yourself. You can write anything you want.
I was taught that poems don't end, they just kind of stop. There's never an ending to a poem; it's a continuation for later. When I write, I write for me, and I write in poetic form.
I am the freest author in the world.
I remember thinking during those times that I wanted to write in a way where there are no rules.

Write what you like; there is no other rule.
I like to reserve the right to write about whatever I like.
I don't set out to write about spirituality; I am free to do something different every time.
The wonderful thing about writing fiction is that no one is stopping you. There's no one saying, 'You can't do that.'
There's a certain freedom in writing when you don't know if you'll ever have an audience.
