“The most I can ever do is write things down. To remember them. The details. To honor them in some way.”
“Good writing is remembering detail. Most people want to forget. Don't forget things that were painful or embarrassing or silly. Turn them into a story that tells the truth.”
“Ideas are the most fragile things in the world, and if you do not write them down, they will be lost forever.”
“For some reason, the act of writing them down makes me remember. Each word I write brings me closer to finding the right one.”
“The rules are there so that we can remember them and follow them. If the rules were obvious, we wouldn't have to write them down.”
“It just happens to be the way that I'm made. I have to write things down to feel I fully comprehend them.”
