It's a wonderful thing to be able to create your own world whenever you want to. Writing is very pleasurable, very seductive, and very therapeutic. Time passes very fast when I'm writing-really fast. I'm puzzling over something, and time just flies by. It's an exhilarating feeling. How bad can it be? It's sitting alone with fictional characters. You're escaping from the world in your own way and that's fine. Why not?

What people who don't write don't understand is that they think you make up the line consciously — but you don't. It proceeds from your unconscious.

And I laugh at it, because I'm hearing it for the first time myself.
