I begin with an image of some sort, just as if you saw something out of a window, and then went to the window to see what it was.

I don't think anything needs to happen in a book.

A book can just be a description of a stick being snapped in half. If the reader is brought to feel the plight of the stick, well, you can imagine what that would be like.

The books turn out to be about things afterwards. I don't go into them with concepts, for the most part.

I am clearer in my mind and a bit less confused than I used to be.

Different times and different structures make more sense at one point in life than at another.

Three things are required of you: the wishes you made when you first knew the breadth of this life; the contract you signed when you decided your wishes were not true or possible; and the exacting of the punishment you agreed to when you knew you would break the contract of your life.
