I want to love fiction

What I write is all mine, it’s a living thing, it’s an extension of me that wanders out into the world. It is desire turned inwards instead of outwards, focused instead of displaced. It’s a way to access self-knowledge and self-respect.

“I love ideas. I’m desperate; I have this yearning, hunger, and thirst for new ideas —new ways of looking at the world. But until I started writing, I wasn’t able to meet people who I could share that with.” – David Perell
