Writing is an incredibly creatively empowering experience for me. It is the place where nobody tries to control what I'm doing.
Nothing can be as astounding as life. Except for writing. Yes, of course, except for writing, the sole consolation.
I almost never write because I want something from my audience. Almost everything I've ever written, I've written because I feel like I have to write this or I'll die. Like, this has to come out of me.
I don't really read as much as I used to. A lot of what I was looking for as an escape I find in writing. And the other thing is that I don't want to get into someone else's language when I'm working.
I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve; I write about them.
I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.
When you write, you don't have the social constraints of having people in front of you, so you talk about abstract matters.
I write for free online out of love, passion, and often, rage.
