Even when I'm stuck on everything else I try to do, and I'm bashing my head against the wall trying to get just a few sentences out, I can turn back to EMPATHY and everything flows. Is it because it's so personal? Is it because I have no expectations for it? It is a mystery.


It helps that I'm working on this at the same time that I'm investigating my own life to a new level of detail. The more you know about yourself, the more true you can be - and the longer you've lived with pain, the easier it is to capture it.
