Quote

Good fiction is made of that which is real, and reality is difficult to come by.

Fiction is based on reality unless you're a fairytale artist.

I have realised just how important it is to readers to feel that fictional stories are based on reality.

The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

I sometimes find reality far more fantastical and unlikely than what I could just make up.

Real life is far more complicated than fiction.

One of the things that writing has taught me is that fiction has a life of its own. Fictional places are sometimes more real than the view from our bedroom window. Fictional people can sometimes become as close to us as our loved ones.

The fact is fiction is always a representation of life, sometimes the lives of famous people.
