The only thing I shy away from is non-consensual violence. I can't write a story where someone is a simple victim because it's boring.

Chuck PalahniukSo this is why I write. Because most times, your life isnโt funny the first time through. Most times, you can hardly stand it. Thatโs why I write, because life never works except in retrospect. And writing makes you look back. Because since you canโt control life, at least you can control your version.
