I Think Almost Always That What Gets

It's Not About Having Things Figured Out, Or About Communicating With Other People, Trying To Make Them Understand What You Understand. It's About A Chicken Dinner At A Drive-in. A Soft Pillow. Things That Don't Need Explaining.

I Like A Lot Of Margaret Atwood, I Like Much Of Alice Munro. Again, If You Were To Ask Me About Male Writers, There's Often A Novel I Admire, But Not All Of Their Works.

People Forget Years And Remember Moments.

I Think Almost Always That What Gets Me Going With A Story Is The Atmosphere, The Visual Imagery, And Then I People It With Characters, Not The Other Way Around.

Nobody Can Assume That, To A Writer, Everything Is Off-limits.
