“My writing has gone to bits - like my character. I am simply a self-conscious nerve in pain.”
“Yes I am a firm believer in Christ, and yes there is cussing and other sinful things in my writing, simply because I am also a realist, and I want to express the most realistic characters possible.”
“So here I am writing my zombie story and my lead character decides to betray me.”
“But then he returned and our life went on. Three days gone. A week. I measured the time in the faint waning of my consciousness of my misery, and wondered if this would one day be enough: simply not to be consciously miserable anymore.”
“I am not in control of how my characters live their lives, only in writing it down.”
“My urge to write is an urge not to self-expressionism but to self-transcendence. My work is both bigger and smaller than I am.”
