"If a writer is any good, what he makes will have its source in a realm much larger than that which his conscious mind can encompass and will always be a greater surprise to him that it can ever be to his reader."
Flannery O'Connor, Mystery and Manners
"The writer is a dream catcher, catching the dreams of the spirits out there that want to be told.
Then, you are forced to tell their story."
Rudolfo Anaya
