I think when you write, you should call it a "writing spree." I don't write every day, and I don't write regularly.
Etgar KeretI tried once in my life to write a novel. I had written something like 80 pages of it when my laptop got stolen. When I told people this, they acted as if something tragic had happened, but I kind of felt relieved, grateful to the thief who saved me from another year of something that felt more like homework than fun.
Etgar KeretI really believe hatred is not a primal emotion, in that you can't find it in nature. It's basically some kind of distortion of fear.
Etgar KeretWhen I write, I never know the endings. What I think works in [my] stories is the fact that when I write, I really want to find out what is going on-I'm writing for myself as a reader. It's like when you dream a dream. I want to know what's behind the door. If I navigate, it's from a place that's totally intuitive.
