#i write

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. ↗

I never walk into the studio and say, I'm going to write a song called... 'X' or called 'Slow Me Down.' I write a ton of lyrics, often the title is somewhere in those 10 pages of... I call it brain vomit. It's kind of like whatever comes out of my head and I'm unabashedly just writing it down. ↗

— Emmy Rossum

I undertake the same project as Montaigne, but with an aim contrary to his own: for he wrote his Essays only for others, and I write my reveries only for myself. ↗

I always have a basic plot outline, but I like to leave some things to be decided while I write. ↗

I'll sit around and play my guitar; that's how I write tunes. ↗

I do not just write, I write what I am. If there is a secret, perhaps that is it. ↗
