“When writing, don't try to lead the story; let the story lead you.”

“If you lead a simple life, and that story is written, then that story will not satisfy. It needs an angle. Suppose there is no angle?”

“So here I am writing my zombie story and my lead character decides to betray me.”

“And sometimes remembering will lead to a story, which makes it forever. That's what stories are for. Stories are for joining the past to the future. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story.”

“I realised that when someone plays hard to get, they are making themselves into a character in a story, and they choose the story that leads to the outcome they want.”

“When writing the story of your life, don't let anyone else hold the pen<3”
