“If you own this story you get to write the ending.”
“If you don't like someone's story, write your own.”
“a wish is a good place to start but then you have to get off your butt and make it happen. You have to pick up a quill and write your own damn story.”
“You’ve gone far away to a place with no horses and very little grass, and you’re studying how to write a story with a happy ending. If you can write that ending for yourself, maybe you can come back.”
“My story - my own personal story - ended before my writing began. Storytelling has only ever been a way of filling in the time since everything finished.”
“You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better.”
