A friend once asked me, ‘If you had the choice between marrying the love of your life and writing, what would you choose?’ And I said writing. I think maybe it is the love of my life, because what you get from it is an understanding of the human condition. We’re all searching for the truth, and I find it in words. As a writer, you’re also showing the readers parts of yourself. It’s only looking back that I see the purpose I’ve found in work might have been the love I was seeking.
