To Write A Damn Good Thriller, You

The Best Stories Are Universal Stories That Have Been Told For As Long As Humanity Has Existed It's Just Figuring Out New Ways To Do It, With Language, With Structure. And So I'm Always Trying To Do That.

We Know Have The Power Of God In Many Ways: The Atomic Bomb, The Ability To Create Life In A Test Tube, Cloning, Artificial Intelligence.

My Life Is Routine. I Wake Up Early In The Morning. I Brush My Teeth. I Sit On The Floor Of The Cell I Do Not Go To Breakfast. I Stare At A Gray Cement Wall. I Keep My Legs Crossed My Back Straight My Eyes Forward. I Take Deep Breaths In And Out, In And Out, And I Try Not To Move. I Sit For As Long As I Can I Sit Until Everything Hurts I Sit Until Everything Stops Hurting I Sit Until I Lose Myself In The Gray Wall I Sit Until My Mind Becomes As Blank As The Gray Wall. I Sit And I Stare And I Breathe. I Sit And I Stare. I Breathe.

I Have Lived Alone, I Have Fought Alone, I Have Dealt With The Pain Alone. I Will Die Alone. I Think When I'm Going To Leave. I Don’t Want To Be Seen And I Don’t Want To Be Followed , I Want To Disappear Quickly And Quietly And Without Any Drama , I Want As Much Time In The Darkness As I Can Possibly Have . The Darkness Provides Cover, The Darkness Provides Places To Hide And The Darkness Provides Comfort.

Practice Not Wanting, Desiring, Judging, Doing, Fighting, Knowing. Practice Just Being. Everything Will Fall Into Place.
