long answers ruins
Some questions will ruin you if you are denied the answer long enough.
self brain desire
Nothing that lived and breathed was truly objective—even in a vacuum, even if all that possessed the brain was a self-immolating desire for the truth.
revelations paralysis
What occurs after revelation and paralysis?
ipods band type
There's also a lot of gritty Americana type of bands. I actually have a lot of Britpop on my iPod, too.
dream inspiration mean
Even a dream as inspiration doesn't mean anything unless you then find that it's sparked an actual story with a plot.
taken reality events
When we wake, it is because something, some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we’ve taken as reality.
fiction film enough
Film fixes a precise visual image in the viewer's head. In fiction, you just hope you're precise enough to convey the intended effect.
dream inspiration special
Dreams, though, are just one kind of inspiration - no more or less special than something in a newspaper article or from the world around you sparking inspiration.
brain way needs
I’ve got...ways of tricking my brain into getting what I need out of it
trying use etc
I always try to be alert to the potential for repetition, for a decaying orbit with regard to my use of technique, etc.
dream consequence
History has shown us all too often the consequences of dreaming poorly or not at all.
short-love reading fiction
The stories in Get In Trouble confirm once again that Kelly Link is a modern virtuoso of the form-playful and subversive required reading for anyone who loves short fiction.

Who had the bigger burden? The one who had to watch the other person endure or the one who endured?
literature world born
It is the nature of the writer to question the validity of his world and yet rely on his senses to describe it. From what other tension can great literature be born?
