Sometimes, so much of the difficulty is the question of 'What am I going to write about?' because the world is so vast.

I love reading poetry, and yet, at this point, the thought of writing a poem, to me, is tantamount to figuring out a trigonometry question.

I just try to enter into the story and feel my way through it. It's a very murky, intuitive way of going about it.
