I am writing in the garden. To write as one should of a garden one must write not outside it or merely somewhere near it, but in the garden.
I never thought it was unusual to write, and I've been writing or pretending to write since before I even started school.
I write to explore something that fascinates me, and I write the way I do because it is the only way I know how to write.
I don't have as tight a time limit anymore but I still write in long marathon sessions and then I won't write for a while, I'm not a write-every-day writer.
I always tell people I write songs, but I'm a writer. It's a difference. I can write songs to music, but I can write a story. I can see ideas spark in me.
I write the music because I can't really write lyrics. But I can write chords like Robin's never heard of. So I provide the music for them to add the lyrics to.
I wasn't writing the music. Ed would write a piece of music. I'd listen to it and come up with a melody and then we would arrange it. We'd put it together and I would write lyrics to my melodies.
I think that most people who write about music just want to fill some paper. They're not really interested in getting to the heart of something. Otherwise, they wouldn't write what they write.
Having writers block sucks more than my actual writing. And my writing would be astonishing if I could write how I feel.
I am a disciplined person. When I am writing, I write for 7-8 hours.
I don't write tracts, I write novels. I'm not a preacher, I'm a fiction writer.
Honestly...this is why I write. I write to get the happy ending I sometimes feel is eluding me. I write for my sanity.
When I write legally, I try to write very plain, very vanilla, very clear.
With my writing, what I want to do is humanize the young people I write about.
When you're writing a novel - at least the way I write is I work from what I would call 'emotional atmosphere,' ambiance to ambiance.
A book is not an example of 'women's writing' simply because it is written by a woman. Writing may become 'women's writing' when it could not have been written by a man.
Writing is hard - writing is the hardest.

Bad writing is more than a matter of shit syntax and faulty observation; bad writing usually arises from a stubborn refusal to tell stories about what people actually do― to face the fact, let us say, that murderers sometimes help old ladies cross ...
I ask to be made beautiful like the trees are beautiful, each growing according to a unique plan. Lop off a limb and and the tree will accommodate it's loss, still growing and still beautiful. It is my hope to be able to flourish in a similar fashion...
I pretty much drink a cup of coffee, write in my journal for a while, and then sit at a computer in my office and torture the keys. My one saving grace as a writer is that, if I'm having trouble with the novel I'm writing, I write something else, a p...
