#i write

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. ↗

Everything I write is based on something I've personally experienced, or things that my friends have experienced that I just find horribly entertaining. ↗

I write about stuff that happens to me, so I try to live as interesting a life as possible. ↗

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. ↗

I'm still in love with what I do, with the idea of making things up, so hours when I write always feel like very blessed hours to me. ↗

I write about the trials and triumphs of contemporary life - and often the readers see themselves between the lines of the story. ↗

I write about true-life type things. ↗

Every time I write a new novel about something sombre and sobering and terrible I think, 'oh Lord, they're not going to want to go here'. But they do. Readers of fiction read, I think, for a deeper embrace of the world, of reality. And that's brave. ↗
