There are secrets at the heart of every story; there is something that must be uncovered or discovered, both by the reader and by the characters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's kind of part of human nature to want to know the truth or want to be in on the secret. For stories that focus in on that - like whodunits - it's easy to get drawn into.
That's the mark of a great storyteller, never to give away secrets in advance.
There are no secrets better kept than the secrets everybody guesses.
Secrets are very intriguing - I always think that's an interesting theme.
I think books should have secrets, like people do.
Most writers are drawn to what is unknown, rather than what is clear in any tale.
The secret story is the one we'll never know, although we're living it from day to day, thinking we're alive, thinking we've got it all under control and the stuff we overlook doesn't matter.
If you're a writer, you know there are ways in which we don't know what we're doing at all. We're working out mysteries in a sort of poetic realm, and hoping that if a story is honest, if you're dragging the deep truth out of yourself, then something good and profound might come out of it.
The only secrets are the secrets that keep themselves.
Secrets are things we give to others to keep for us.
