You take what you consider to be your little particle of awareness–so you’re writing a character who’s just dug up a grave and he’s driving back to a hotel and like, it’s three in the morning. You take your particle of awareness and you be that person, try to be in their chair, try to–like what is it to be… fuck, you’ve been driving for sixteen hours. It’s three in the morning. You just had to dig up a grave. When you walked to the car, there was crunching in the treads of your shoes from the dirt that made you think about how many other graves you’ve had to dig up. Just be there because that is writing. Writing is putting yourself into other people’s places and using every scrap of your observational capacity to empathize with what it is. To live in details.

I have this thing for sunsets. I love them. One of my friends lives on the beach and snaps beautiful sunset photos every night and shares them on Instagram and I'm so insanely jealous of her, because she gets to watch the sun slip into the ocean every night. I don't even know how many sunset scenes I've written into my books. I'd count, except I'd probably be embarrassed by the number. What I love is how it’s this almost magical thing that happens as the sky turns from nothing to something amazing, right before your eyes. And when you think it can't get any better, it does. Creativity is a lot like that. The important thing is to show up, day after day after day, just like Mother Nature does.
