Antonya Nelson Quotes

Writing is a completely private act. It’s in a way like play but very serious play, and sometimes I can escape into the fictional world that I’m creating so fully as to see hours go by without my noticing it. I think that kind of suspension of time and that mindfulness is a real gift Picture Quote #1

You own a dog with the knowledge that it will move through the stages of existence in fast forward, providing you with a lesson about your own life passages if you let it Picture Quote #1

There are a thousand things to hear about, informationally, daily, but the thing that doesn’t go away is the one to pay attention to Picture Quote #1

Fiction ought to announce the problems, dramatize the problems, display them. Yet offer no set answer. An answer would solve the mystery. Writing fiction, for me, is about putting on paper my obsessive interest in something mysterious. I may figure out the source of the mystery, the things that brought some action or image to my mind, but to make an equation of it would ruin the story Picture Quote #1

Birdy never felt artistic inclination when armed with a marking implement. What came to her were words, always words, commentary and criticism and correction and simple vocabulary curios; she scratched a few of them on the smooth red wall Picture Quote #1
