I Wanted To Deal With Someone's Idea

There Are Too Many Ideas And Things And People. Too Many Directions To Go. I Was Starting To Believe The Reason It Matters To Care Passionately About Something, Is That It Whittles The World Down To A More Manageable Size.

I Try When I'm Writing To Leave Enough "space" For People To Have Their Own Interpretation, And Not To Direct It Toward One Conclusion. Then The Audience Would Not Be Reacting, Because They Are Being Preached To Or Lectured At. I Don't Have That Much To Say That I Think People Should Listen To Me.

I've Kind Of Come To The Conclusion That What Passes For Realism In Movies Has Nothing To Do With Reality And That My Stuff Is More Realistic Than That.

I Just Try To Be Honest, Because I Think That's Part Of My Job Description As A Writer.

There's A Point I Can Get To Where I Start Writing Character And Then Through The Dialogue, After All Of This Preparation, The Thing Starts To Feel Like It's A Character Developing Through The Dialogue. A Lot Of Character Traits Do Come From Writing Dialogue, But I Have To Be Ready To Do It.
