Writing rescued me as I matured because it transformed into my only link to the outside world. So, I went from a little extrovert who despised work, to a reserved workaholic, which could be good or bad, depending on how each person views the situation.

No. Author and illustrator Marjane Satrapi will agree. “I am very much a fan of imperfection, actually” (Root 81). She is a well-known graphic novelist. I admire Satrapi.
