Most of the writers I know are weird hybrids. There’s a strong streak of egomania coupled with extreme shyness. Writing’s kind of like exhibitionism in private. And there’s also a strange loneliness, and a desire to have some kind of conversation with people, but not a real great ability to do it in person.

(I’m just going to keep on posting or reblogging quotes that equate writing with exhibitionism. PARTY TIME!!!)
