Writing Littles Ocd

More From Kristin Hannah

Ocd, we discovered is a lot of different things-it's not just washing your hands, it's whatever you're obsessed with. it can be just the way you hold a pen, and you always have to have it a certain way or you have to eat your food, it depends. it's something that, as a character i thought was really interesting because sometimes it's used in a film where it is ocd and sometimes it's strategic.
Character Hands Interesting
I'm too measured and controlling - about everything. that's why i take lexapro. it's for ocd. i don't feel like i'm struggling with it. i think ocd is a part of me that protects me. it's also the part of me that i use in my job, in a positive way.
Jobs Struggle Thinking
I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
The level at which my ocd enters my writing process isn't that i slap the keyboard - it's more along the lines of a compulsive need to swap syllables around, rework words and sentences - i revise for the pleasure and satisfaction of it, rather than out of a sense of duty.
Writing Ocd Pleasure
The whole aesthetics of computers very much feeds into my ocd. they fill my head with obsessionalities and my actions become very repetitive. it seems quite inimical to the dreamy state out of which fiction comes which seems so much less causally repetitive than the way one works on computers.
Way Fiction Action
Essentially, the scripts are not that different. let's say, in literary terms, it's the difference between writing horizontally and writing vertically. in live television, you wrote much more vertically. you had to probe people because you didn't have money or sets or any of the physical dimensions that film will allow you. so you generally probed people a little bit more. film writing is much more horizontal. you can insert anything you want: meadows, battlefields, the taj mahal, a cast of thousands. but essentially, writing a story is writing a story.

Similar Quotes
All my novels are rooted in their time and in their place. the place of my novels is israel, almost without exception. almost without exception, my novels are rooted in israel because that's the place i know well. and, that's my gutsy advice to any young writer: write only about what you know well. don't write about that which you don't know.
Writing Advice Novel
The boy spends most of his time reading. and writing, of course. he copies out sections of books, writes out words and symbols he does not understand at first but that become intimately familiar beneath his ink-stained fingers, formed again and again in increasingly steady lines.

Failures are inevitable. unfortunately, in film they live for ever and they're 40 ft wide and 20 ft high.
