Karl Ove Knausgaard

Just read in Vanity Fair how Karl Ove pretty much detests everything about himself. I've read all of the My Struggles and I can tell you, that's pretty much the truth. But something that I found so interesting too about the article was if he were to come back as anything, he would come back a window. I mean does he say this shit on purpose? It's so annoying how spot on he is sometimes. Obviously that's what we as writers are. We see things. We observe. We're either inside looking out, or outside looking in. And whether we're talking about the world at large, society, nature or our minds, we are observers. To me, that takes a little pressure off. I'm just writing down what I see or how I see things after they've gone through the funnel of my mind and into my pen or my fingers on the board. 

A little tip, and I wish I could remember who I learned this from, but when you watch things, hear things, see things, listen... observe from the vantage point of your characters. How is your character experiencing Alabama? The new Star Wars movie? The hotel room you're staying in? The view from your window?

That's all I got. Ciao for now!

I know that you are going to be more of just a writer. Being a writer is not that bad, but burdensome at some point. Too much of being observant makes us emotional too. I have always been wanting to be a writer and you I can say that they call me a frustrated writer. I really wanted to observe things, whether it is outside or inside. It thrills me to see what is happening to someone and something. In that way, my life has become exciting.
