“I love putting two things next to each other that don't necessarily belong, because then there's sort of a third atmosphere, a third space that is created depending on who the reader is. Some people will immediately make the links between who's in each section and see exactly what's going on and some people won't. And I don't think that matters at all.” PeopleThinkingAtmosphere Author:Evie Wyld
“As long as the reader is enjoying a story and the writing, it doesn't concern me if people don't understand why it's running backward or if it's running backward. I think disorientating a reader a bit can be really nice. Making them work and bringing their own past to play in a novel.” PeopleThinkingWritingLongRunningPastEnjoyNovelNiceConcernReally NiceRunning Back Author:Evie Wyld
“I think there's over-telling sometimes, in fiction. For instance, I'm a big fan of horror movies, but I could always lose the last third of them. There's the brilliant exciting scary thing that's going on, and then they have to show you the monster, and the monster turns out to be a giant spider from space and then you push it over and it's dead. It becomes mortal and it has human needs and it always sort of feels like a shame. Maybe because of all the cop shows and such, we're a generation that needs to have problems solved for us in fiction.” ThinkingSometimesProblemHorrorExcitingShameScaryBrilliantCop Author:Evie Wyld
“But I think writing should be a bit of a struggle. We're not writing things that are going to change the world in big ways. We're writing things that might make people think about people a little bit, but we're not that important. I think a lot of writers think we are incredibly important. I don't feel like that about my fiction. I feel like it's quite a selfish thing at heart. I want to tell a story. I want someone to listen to me. And I love that, but I don't think I deserve the moon on a stick because I do that.” PeopleThinkingWorldWritingHeartImportantStruggleMoonDeserveSelfishChanging The WorldListen To Me Author:Evie Wyld
“Part of the problem of being a feminist is that you feel you have to be actively doing things to relieve women’s plight. Actually, feminism is just thinking we should have the same rights as men.” ThinkingMenFeelsShouldRightsFeminismShould HaveFeministPlight Author:Evie Wyld
