„So, you’re writing. You make a pass at capturing something. It’s too fast for you, the world doesn’t cooperate, but you get something. You follow things around, backing up at the hint of a precision, muscling your way in. You see how much you can’t catch, especially now that you’re onto a composition of your own. You need another detail, you get rid of a container concept that doesn’t work. Writing’s accordion mechanics of expansion and contraction changes the environment of a concept. Thought becomes a little surprised to latch on to something, to arrive somewhere, still looking around. It turns to what could happen, not what seven things make this scene a clog in some big picture or a chutes-and-ladders shortcut right into its dangerous fantasy.“
