On Being a Writer
PAGE IN PROGRESS
What you see here is a page of my hypertext book Me, Looking for Meaning. Initially empty, it will slowly be filled with thoughts, notes, and quotes. One day, I will use them to write a coherent entry, similar to these completed pages. See this post to better understand my creative process. Thank you for your interest and patience! :)

My writing: Italian fairy tale about dreams: when the person saw scary dreams he looked for what wax great, said a spell and he got it in his life: that’s how I use challenging experiences to inform my writing
I am thinking and thinking, feeling and feeling, till all the words and feelings need to spill out
When I want to talk about my identity, I say: "I am a writer and a scholar" or "I am a scholar and a writer".
I constantly feel the need to write something down, and I am always surprised when I am actually able to sit down and formulate some thoughts in a somewhat coherent way.
It’s more important to be true to myself and to my ideas then to get the quick gratification of likes.
I am the happiest when writing for myself, while keeping the audience in mind (empathy for the audience). If I focus what audience wants, I will not be the best writer I could be.
Pure creativity: when the purpose is expressing yourself, exploring yourself and the world. Creativity ends when I start being concerned if what I do matters, or what others would think; comparing myself to others; is this “real” success?
my brain is like an ocean, I cannot reach its depth, I just need to wait for it to bring to me it’s random treasures - ideas, examples, stories - like pieces of glass, beautiful shells and other gifts from the depths
