I don't think it's going to be possible for the next generation of writers to tell stories without telling stories about telling stories.

No, the thing is, we all love storytelling, and as a writer you get to tell stories all the time.

We don't only tell stories when we set out to tell stories, our memory tells us stories. That is, what we get to keep from our experiences is a story.

You know, we love stories and we love narrative; we love to get lost in an author's world.

To share our stories is not only a worthwhile endeavor for the storyteller, but for those who hear our stories and feel less alone because of it.

I think we need to tell stories that reflect our world.

I'm really into the idea of telling stories. Everyone needs stories. Everyone needs to escape every once in a while.

And it's a human need to be told stories. The more we're governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.

We all mythologize to some degree ourselves and probably embellish. I think some of that is the desire to tell stories.
