#i write

I write 'by the seat of my pants.' I love to do research. I am inspired by contemporary writers and contemporary events. I live in the real world. ↗

Some people play the piano, some do Sudoku, some watch television, some people go out to dinner parties. I write books. ↗

I don't have a special place or ritual for writing songs, basically I write songs whenever an idea hits me, in my hotel room, on the road, in the plane. ↗

I write lustily and humorously. It isn't calculated; it's the way I think. I've invented a writing style that expresses who I am. ↗

I write slowly by hand. Publishing is effectively bankrupt for you unless you are Danielle Steele. It takes a year to write book and advances are going down or disappearing. ↗

I write when I have to; I write when the song is done and I deal with the idea and I just go with it and I'll become what that song is all about until I have finished it. And when you do that, it makes the song more visual, it makes it more personal. ↗

People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them I have the heart of a small boy... and I keep it in a jar on my desk. ↗

We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them. ↗

I make it clear why I write as I do and why other poets write as they do. After hundreds of experiments I decided to go my own way in style and see what would happen. ↗

Anytime I write something that's trying to be too smart, it doesn't work. ↗
