Nothing inspires me as much, nothing gives me as much freedom as spending time within nature, espescially while hunting fish. Writing and hunting have a lot in common. You sneak up to your next story, you watch, stalk and circle your idea. Any wrong thought could frighten it away, but you keep up with it, you pursue it with patience and persistance.

Often your first ideas will be bad, but they are necessary. Sometimes they might even turn into your best ideas. You have to allow yourself to make mistakes, that’s the fastest way to disperse writer’s blocks.

One could write a monumental work about his world of thought, his unconciousness, his entanglements, his ambivalence, his hopes and fears. I always start with the character. Starting from the character the whole story emerges with its twists and turns, its arcs of suspense.

Writing means to me to be close to reality, to pour it into the page through my own subjective filter. Writing means freedom. One needs nothing but a sheet of paper and a pencil. With those you can create an immortal work. One should never forget that.(less)
