“I write not because I want to but because I am destined to.”
“I write because I am a writer, not because I want to get anything out of it.”
“It’s not that I want people to think I am smart, or even that I am a good writer. I write because I want to end my loneliness.”
“I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present, because that is where I am destined to live”
“Why do we writers write? Is it because we have something to say, or is it because we just do? I write because I can, because I just do, and because I am a writer, and so I write.”
“Why do I write? I write because I have to, because it is all I know, because it is my truth, because I am compelled, because I am driven to make the world acknowledge that women like me exist, and we possess a dangerous wisdom. ”
