11/24 I gave up music in order to become a writer. I felt music was holding me back in a life I had discovered to be naive. I have indeed become a writer, judging by the fact that I have always been writing, daily, for more than three decades. If those had been music hours, where would I be today?

I am a writer, judging by the fact that writing has repeatedly said no to me, and I never accepted it, just as music has repeatedly said no to me, and I didn’t accept it either.
