If this book has made any point clear, I hope it's that things don't have to be real to be true. Or vice versa.

I write constantly, so it flows from one project to the next, and I would edit everything endlessly if I had the chance. I can always see ways to improve what I've done. At the same time, knowing it's all an ongoing life's work allows me to be less precious about blind alleys, failed experiments, and misfires.

Remember it's all just a mirror we made to see ourselves in.

A bullet in the right place can change the world.
