I like writing, and I enjoy it. It's painful. You can't get around the pain of writing. I'm still trying to balance on what I think is my creative habit. It varies, but I do know that I need to continue. It helps me with my acting, and the writing helps me be invested in a different way.

Writing songs has always been a process where I divulge a lot, just because music is a tool for me to sift through and process intense emotions. But having music be my primary occupation has changed how I interact with art.

Julien Baker

Writing helps me process things that are happening to me.

Juliana Hatfield

I write wherever I am. It helps that the writing process, for me, is a lone-wolf mission.

Passenger

I was always writing music anyway. I just sort of fell into it. Writing for me is a therapeutic process.

Lisa Marie Presley

The process of writing fiction is totally unconscious. It comes from what you are learning, as you live, from within. For me, all writing is a process of discovery. We are looking for the meaning of life. No matter where you are, there are conflicts and dramas everywhere. It is the process of what it means to be a human being; how you react and are reacted upon, these inward and outer pressures. If you are writing with a direct cause in mind, you are writing propaganda. It's fatal for a fiction writer.

Nadine Gordimer

Writing something down and processing it, sitting with a text and a story, editing and rewriting new drafts - that entire process helps clarify something for myself. Depending on the person, the act of trying to tell your story helps you understand yourself better, helps you come to terms with something that happened.

Haroon Moghul

I have to have music as a soundtrack to writing fiction. I listen to it at other times, too, but it helps me write.

Jeff Vandermeer

Around me, there's always music playing. It just calms me down; it soothes me. It helps me write. It helps me with my mood.

Courtney A. Kemp

I'm a writer who simply can't know what I'm writing about until the writing lets me discover it. In a sense, my writing process embraces the gapped nature of my memory process, leaping across spaces that represent all I've lost and establishing fresh patterns within all that remains.

Floyd Skloot

I'm an obsessive writer who needs and loves revision. Writing helps me learn and helps me teach.

Kiese Laymon

Music is a way of expressing my mood, and it definitely helps to motivate me before a game. It also helps me move on from past defeats or keeps my mind busy when I'm not playing, so music is definitely something that follows me every step of every day.

Sergio Ramos

Action set pieces are my absolute favorite thing to write. I'm pretty much always in the mood to do them, but music certainly helps the process. I usually brainstorm out the dynamics and choreography of a fight to music beforehand - it gives me the little sparks of imagination when I get to the gaps in my own creativity.

Victoria Aveyard

Actually, I very much dislike routine. Creating music is my chaos therapy. The writing process puts me in a good place. Recording the music is the release of however I felt in the song.

Mpho Koaho

Writing poetry helps me to write my fiction; each thing helps the other.
