#i write

I write songs about stuff that I can't really get past personally - and then I write a song about it and I feel better. ↗

I write short, my words tight to the thread of the narrative. ↗

I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We've been taught that silence would save us, but it won't. ↗

Usually, I walk around and think about things. When I come across a thought that makes me laugh, I write it down. ↗

When people ask what I write about, that's what I tell them: 'The drama of human relationships.' I'm not even close to running out of material. ↗

I think all art comes out of conflict. When I write I am always looking for the dramatic kernel of an event, the junctures of people's lives when they go in one direction, not another. ↗

As I write, highly civilized human beings are flying overhead, trying to kill me. ↗

I write scripts in storyboard fashion using stick figures, and thought balloons and word balloons and captions. Then I'll write descriptions of what scenes should look like and turn it over to the artist. ↗

My work looks like a comic book in form, but it's not a typical comic book in content. I write autobiographical stuff. ↗

I feel I'm able to get rid of any demons lurking in my psyche through my writing, which leaves me free to create all of this and to enjoy our family life, stepping away from all the fictional traumas and the dramas. If I write about family in crisis, then I won't have to live through it, I guess. ↗

— Jodi Picoult
