“The thing I write will be the thing I write.”

“The thing I want to write most is the next thing I write.”

“I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of. ”

“Beyond just writing about falling in love and out of love and wanting to do certain things and going out and partying and all the things that I grew up writing about, I want to write about deeper things.”

“This is what I believe to be the progress of a writer. You write 10 things, of which one of them will be great. You then write 11 things, of which two of them will be great. Then you write 12 things, of which four of them will be great. Then you write 13 things, of which eight of them will be great. Finally you write 14 things, of which 16 of those 14 things will be great.

“Writing a list of ways I could be betterand writing a suicide noteare the same thing”
