After everyone's gone to bed, I still find myself sitting at the computer writing songs. It's a nice reminder that this has always been a kind of hobby that I get on with because I really love it.
I have a lot of fun writing for artists, but I'm learning to apply that fun to myself.
I have fun writing. I don't make it a chore. I don't have to struggle with it.
I have a day job where I make money and satisfy my self-esteem. Writing is for fun, and I want to keep it that way.
I write because I love doing it.
My purpose is to entertain and please myself. I feel that if I am entertained, then there will be enough other readers who will be entertained, too.
The essays are very solipsistic and self-absorbed, I'm totally conscious of that. To me, book writing is fun, and I basically just write about things that are entertaining to myself.
All my writing is fun, and that makes it hard to slow down or walk away.
At first it was a bit daunting, but once I started to do it, the more I got into it, the more I started enjoying it and being able to say things lyrically that I would normally have to say musically.
I enjoy the research and love actually creating the words. There's not too much I find a drudge when it comes to writing.
