I think anything goes in fiction as long as it fits within the interior logic of the work itself and is presented in a disciplined manner.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Fiction is a report from the interior.
Most fiction comes from your experience.
I think once you write fiction, you put it out, and it can be interpreted in a variety of ways, some of which are going to be shocking to the writer.
When I see things in the world that leap out at me, I want to make use of them in fiction. Maybe every writer does that. It just depends on what you claim or appropriate as yours.
Fiction, maybe art in general, is a tentative, uncertain enterprise; it's not science, it's an exploration, but you never find much in the way of answers.
There are some subjects that can only be tackled in fiction.
Fiction is the best way I know how to think something through.
There's always a bit of fiction in everything that I write.
Fiction is able to do one thing better than any other art form: it is able to convey a convincing sense of what is going on in someone else's head. To me, that is the great mystery of life: what is everyone else thinking?
I think fiction lends itself to messiness rather than the ideal, and plays well with the ironies surrounding what happens versus what should happen.
