Bricks without straw are more easily made than imagination without memories.

What is the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich, exactly?” Tess asked, pursing her lips. Erin knew it was her attempt at making light of a heavy situation.
“You know, just the right amount of jelly where it doesn’t squish out when you bite into it. Not so much peanut butter that you get all goopy-mouthed. Making the perfect PBJ is an art form. And it has to be fresh white bread, and the best grape jelly and creamy peanut butter on the market. No exceptions.”
Tess bobbed her head. “Ah, yes. The dreaded goopy mouth.
Erin’s throat closed up a little. “We slept together after knowing each other for three hours,” she whispered.
“Why are you whispering? There’s no one here but us.”
“Because it sounds much tawdrier when I say it out loud.”
“Tawdrier?” He clapped his hand over his mouth to try to stifle a laugh.
Erin punched him in the arm. “It’s a high-dollar word for sleazy.

I think, because…well, I like the idea of coming up with a story that never existed before, but I don’t really want to be in charge. I don’t want to be famous. I guess I like the idea of sitting in the dark and knowing that I created the thing on screen, that it’s my story, but, like, no-one else has to know it was me. Does that make sense?

Novels institutionalize the ruse of eros. It becomes a narrative texture of sustained incongruence, emotional and cognitive. It permits the reader to stand in triangular relation to the characters in the story and reach into the text after the objects of their desire, sharing their longing but also detached from it, seeing their view of reality but also its mistakenness. It is almost like being in love.

Stories change us. They change the world. People are stories of themselves.

I think maybe today a poem I hope
after breakfast I start trying
pulling it out of my own gut
mostly by force
I don't write fantasy; I write historical novels about an imaginary place.
Raymond E. FeistAlways write exactly what you’re feeling at the exact moment when writing something like poetry or an emotional novel. Put yourself, pour all emotions into your work…make yourself cry, feel joy if you are writing joyful things, feel lovey if it calls for it…just put your heart and soul into all that you do…then you will be a good writer when you can make whoever reads your work, feel." -Nina Jean Slack

If you you write with enough assurance and confidence, you’re allowed to do whatever you like. So write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can.
