I Still Think About The Writers I

The Thing That Made Me Turn More Towards Writing Was Realizing How Hard It Was Going To Be To Get A Singular Vision On Film And How Much More Control I Would Have If I Were Writing Novels.

I Would Say That All Short Stories Have Mystery Naturally Built Into Them.

I Don't Think Anybody Deals Well With Tragedy Or Grief, But Maybe My Characters Are Particularly Bad At It. Which Is Why I Love Them.

Writing Short Stories Was Kind Of Like I Was Cheating The Whole Time, In Some Way. I Went Back And Forth Between Writing The Novels And Sort Of Sneaking Out To Work On Stories Occasionally. These Stories Were Written Over The Last 10 Years Or So, As I Was Taking Breaks From The Novels I've Written.

Our Sense Of Self Is A Kind Of Construct. It Is In Some Ways Like A Novel, And It's Like A Fabric Of Fictions That We Patch Together From Memory.
