Good writing does not come from verbiage but from words.
The impulse to write comes, I think, from a desire - perhaps a need - to give imaginative life to experience, to share it with the reader, not to cover up the truth but to deliver it obliquely.
I think writing is really about a journey of understanding. So you take something that seems very far away, and the more you write about it, the more you travel into it, and you see it from within.
Writing requires an intense inner focus, and sometimes you need to express outward, physically or socially.
If you want somebody to tell you a story, one of the most easiest and effective ways is if you're telling them a story.
There are so many different things out there trying to hook our attention, we writers have to be very selective and make certain that it is coming from inside out, not outside in.
Making sentences is what I do. I mean, the story will come as I write.
What writing does is to reveal.
A story is a story is a story. The only difference is in the techniques you bring to bear. There are always limitations on what you can and can't do. But I enjoy that. Just like when you write a sonnet or haiku, there are rules you have to abide by. And to me, playing within the rules is the fun part. It keeps the brain fresh.
Writing is a communication.
