Words

I like words. They are, after our bodies, pretty much our first playthings.

Dangerous Stories

"Some stories are extremely dangerous, but not in the way most people believe: not because they refer to socially uncomfortable issues and facts. They are dangerous because they teach us to think in the wrong way about our problems."
N.N. Scott, in conversation, (2004)

A Good Ending

"The story should end where the next story most logically begins. A good ending is a good beginning."
(from one of my notebooks, 2006)
