The first spurt I had was when I discovered Dostoevsky. I remember not being able to wait in excitement while reading a page so that I could put the book down and start writing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wrote mindlessly about people I love, what makes me hate them, addictions, sorrow, and ungratefulness.

I love them so much that I show mercy on the fact that they\u2019re over suddenly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I write because I can.
