About This Quote
Our willingness to write truthfully brings the story to life is a phrase that reminds us of the importance of writing our own stories. As authors, we are often inspired by the stories that other people tell us. We hear them, we hear their voices in our heads and we want to be with them on their journeys. We see their joy and feel their pain. When they are good people, we want to be like them and when they are bad, we want to tell their story so they can’t hurt anyone else.
