I write because I know that one day I will die, and thus I should experience as many deliberate observations, careful thoughts, wild ideas, and deep emotions as I can before that day occurs.

Still to this day, I don't know when I write something whether it's good or not.

I write with as much objectivity as I can.

I write a thousand words a day.

I write short stories. I write every day.

Mothers have this huge influence, and I feel like they're always teaching us from the day we're born what to be afraid of, what to be cautious of, what we should like, and what we should look like.
