When I sit down to write, I don't think about
writing about an idea or a given message.
I just try to write a story which is hard enough.

In fiction, plenty do the job of conveying
information, rousing suspense, painting characters, enabling them to speak.
But only certain sentences breathe and shift

It interests me
to imagine characters shifting
from one
situation and one location to another
for whatever the circumstances may be.
