“A writer is a world trapped in a person.” -Victor Hugo
You gotta set it free! There’s a story inside you and it’s going to find its way out. Sometimes it comes out in other ways like nightmares or fears. The best way to take hold of the story inside of you is to lasso it word by word and throw it down on paper every night. There’s no good reason to keep it crammed inside you, causing all sorts of disarray. Well, the truth is that I can’t promise one gathered story will bring order into your life, but there’s a huge possibility that it will give you the space to be human. Full on 100% homegrown human.
Can you tell me an old story idea you may have had as a child?
I had this one story about a girl running as fast as she could through the woods and she finally came upon a huge castle. I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to write that story. But to this day, I can’t believe how real it felt.
