On writing


A person’s writing is very much them. It’s like looking into a very critical mirror of the soul. Others might not see you; but one certainly sees oneself. The process alone is traumatic; then to be concerned with the result! It’s a terrible thing to see oneself vividly. It’s the most wondrous thing! It is necessary though to write with substance. It is terribly exposing. It is not an easy thing to be.
