I distrust thought. The interior life is highly overrated. I don't like the wispy and the vague... or inductive logic in any kind of writing. I'm impatient with writers who make too much sense. The better things that I've done have come to me by instinct.
One good reason for writing novels based on your life is that you have something to read in old age when you've forgotten what happened.
