“You don’t think when you play music, you just try to play and be in it. It is the same for me when the writing is going really well. It’s the same kind of feeling. I’m just in it. It’s not the words, it’s not the sentences, I’m not aware of it. Then it’s good.” ThinkingWritingTryingWellsKindPlayFeelingsSentences Author:Karl Ove Knausgard

Today, if you have a strong sense of shame you also have a strong desire to overcome it. And that's when you can write.” IfsGivingWritingKindTodayDesireStrongOvercomingShameDestructiveShamelessStrong Desire Author:Karl Ove Knausgard
