There is a kind of belief among my students that things that are true are interesting. But most things that are true are not interesting. Four pages describing how I got up and brushed my teeth in the morning would kill you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I like to have interesting things to write about. And when one says something is 'interesting,' one almost always means 'bad.'
I have always argued, in a good novel, interesting things happen to interesting people.
I always like when things are loosely based on real events. That always makes it more interesting because there's a lot of research you can do.
The interesting thing is always to see if you can find a fact that will change your mind about something, to test and see if you can.
I believe that everyone has a story, and it is important that we encourage all students to tell theirs.
Obviously, I like to write stories that are page-turners. But I always try my very, very hardest to be as factually true as possible.
Facts are not interesting to me.
A compelling story, even if factually inaccurate, can be more emotionally compelling than a dry recitation of the truth.
Everything is interesting to me.
I have always found fact infinitely more interesting than myths and falsehoods.
