Under the adjectives

June 20th, 2004 by

“I have a theory that all writers have power issues. Well, maybe not “power” per se, maybe just “control,” but issues none the less. We’ve got to be in control of our work and we’ve got to be found in the words, whether by accident or on purpose. It’s always been said that every work of fiction is actually a work of nonfiction, that no author can keep himself and his own life out of his work. We’ve got a serious need to be in control of our work, our reputations, the way people perceive us, and how involved we actually are. We change names and places, we make circumstances more comedic and more interesting, but under the adjectives it’s still just a story of our lives.”

    :) tis true. i guess regardless of how much we try to separate ourselves from our writing or disguise our muse, it will always lie between the lines. and come to think of it, if EVERYONE stopped writing b/c of such fears… we would have never had the opportunity to have been enlightened with the poets and writers and all artists for that matter who have shaped our own… so perhaps, its not necessarily a bad thing. :)
