Writing is hard work, but a lot of fun, too. It allows me to live out some of my fantasies. ↗

At the evident risk of seeming ridiculous, I want to begin by saying that I have tried for much of my life to write as if I was composing my sentences to be read posthumously. I hope this isn't too melodramatic or self-centred a way of saying that I attempt to write as if I did not care what reviewers said, what peers thought, or what prevailing opinions may be. ↗

How can I expect readers to know who I am if I do not tell them about my family, my friends, the relationships in my life? Who am I if not where I fit in the world, where I fit in the lives of the people dear to me? ↗

Good writing is supposed to evoke sensation in the reader - not the fact that it is raining, but the feeling of being rained upon. ↗

One of the things I had to learn as a writer was to trust the act of writing. To put myself in the position of writing to find out what I was writing. ↗

I was able to sit at Lincoln's side and see how he thought and how he acted, and how he felt about what was going on around him. I felt the pressures that were on him. You can see what people were writing to him, how they were nudging him. ↗
