And so I just kept writing to myself.

The pages afforded glimpses into my soul where I'd hidden it, behind masks of paper and ink.

I write whenever it suits me. During a creative period I write every day; a novel should not be interrupted.

You are lucky to be one of those people who wishes to build sand castles with words, who is willing to create a place where your imagination can wander. We build this place with the sand of memories; these castles are our memories and inventiveness made tangible. So part of us believes that when the tide starts coming in, we won't really have lost anything, because actually only a symbol of it was there in the sand. Another part of us thinks we'll figure out a way to divert the ocean. This is what separates artists from ordinary people: the belief, deep in our hearts, that if we build our castles well enough, somehow the ocean won't wash them away. I think this is a wonderful kind of person to be.

Everyone carries a story which can be a best selling novel, it’s just a matter of penning down your feelings on papers.

Those who write are writers. Those who wait are waiters.
