“The monsters want to talk, to share what happened. They want me to remember and write it all down.”
“I write about the scariest monsters: The ones inside us all. And the ones that want to eat what is inside us all.”
“I didn't want to talk about what happened, so it seemed safest not to talk at all.”
“If you want to be a writer-stop talking about it and sit down and write!”
“I'll write this all down for you," I said. "I'll put it in a story." I don't know if that's what he wanted to ask me, but it's something everybody wants--for someone to see the hurt done to them and set it down like it matters.”
“My goal is not to have everlasting fame, it is simply to write the stories that are asking me to write them and to share them with the people that want to hear them.”
