"You write something and thereâ€™s no reality to it. You canâ€™t inject it with any kind of reality. You have to be patient and keep going, and then, one day, you can feel something signaling to you from the innermost recesses. Like a little person trapped under the rubble of an earthquake. And very, very, very slowly you find your way toward the little bit of living impulse."

-- Deborah Eisenberg
