There was still something unfinished around her eyes; she wasn’t done yet. She was a story, not an epilogue. And if she chose to narrate her own life one word at a time as she descended the stairs to meet her newest arrival, that wasn’t hurting anyone. Narration was a hard habit to break, after all. Sometimes it was all a body had. Seanan McGuire
About This Quote

The letter writer is describing someone who isn't finished. She has much more to do before she can say she's done. The letter writer thinks that the person is a story, not an epilogue. She doesn't know her intentions, but she knows that something is still left to do. It may be difficult to break the habit of narration, but if you are constantly narrating things that aren't completely finished, you're probably hurting people.
