About This Quote
I just want my stories to be mine. When you’re in the middle of your writing, you don’t want anyone else to come in and touch it. You don’t want your ideas, or your characters, or your plot to be someone else’s. I’m not saying that you don’t want people to read what you write. You do! But you also don’t want them to change it or destroy it or take it somewhere else.
