I've Always Had A Very Developed Superego. I Also Had A Very Powerful Id, But There Was No Ego In The Middle. So Writing Was Always Like Letters Sent From The Id To The Superego, Saying, "what's Going On Here?" What I Loved About Writing Was That I Was Totally Weightless. I Was Amazed At The Fact That I Could Be Myself Without Being Afraid That Anyone Would Get Hurt.
