"A good writer can simulate a page torn out of somebody's diary, and give you every little voyeuristic thrill you might get from that, but actually tell you a broader story. I think it's a noble idea that it's cathartic to open a vein for everybody to see, but ultimately, you're just getting blood everywhere and making a mess. I like the idea that there are deeper and more meaningful things to talk about than your own misery. But at the same time, there's something really interesting about skirting that line and making it seem like you're doing that."

“Subplots bring realism to your main plot simply by existing â€“ by interrupting the flow. Why is this? Because life doesnâ€™t move forward all at once. Interruptions happen, change rushes in, we juggle three or ten balls at once. Readers donâ€™t expect continuous narratives.”
