About This Quote
The author of the quote said there were no absolutes in fiction. Why would you write about something that has no absolutes? You can’t do wrong in the world of fiction because you are not writing about reality. The world of fiction is filled with magic, miracles, and impossible ideas. When an author does something that has no absolute, it is called “fantastic” or “unbelievable.”
