Writing for me is an act of discovery, I am learning about the characters even as I am writing them. In reality, we rarely know why people do the things they do. I think it is enough, sometimes, to simply point to something and allow the readers to reach their own conclusions.

When you're writing you're trying to find out something which you don't know.

I write to discover what I think.

I write to discover what I think

I write to discover something, not so much to set down what I already know. I see ignorance and confusion all around me. I see these things in myself. I'm subject of all kinds of fears and conflicting desires. But one of those desires, the sanest one, is to see through the confusion.

Which is why I am writing this book. To think. To understand. It just happens to be the way I'm made. I have to write things down to feel I fully comprehend them.

Writing is thinking.

There is no better way to understand something than to write about it.

The act of writing is the act of discovering what you believe.

Writing is all about discovery. It is my own journey into the unknown, no less than my characters' journey. Knowing and creating are almost opposite for me. In order to create, I must leave ample space for the unknown. It turns the writing process into an adventure.

I write to find out what I'm talking about.

Writing is often the process by which you realize that you do not understand what you are talking about.

I write to understand as much as to be understood.

We write to discover what we think.

I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.
