#i write

Yes, I, well, when I write, as often as I can, I try to write as if I'm talking to people. It doesn't always work, and one shouldn't always try it, but I try and write as if I am talking, and trying to engage the reader in conversation. ↗

A very wise author once said that a writer writes for himself, and then publishes for money. I write for myself and publish just for the reader. ↗

I don't much believe in the idea of characters. I write with words, that is all. Whether those words are put in the mouth of this or that character does not matter to me. ↗

Well, I write in exile because I cannot return to my country, so I have no choice but to see myself as an exiled writer. ↗

When I write, I enjoy myself so much that what is being written really needs no reader. ↗
