“It's an easier task to imagine someone's interior world when you feel quite distanced from them. In the same way that I find writing about Australia easier than writing about the UK because I don't have the reality of it in front of me to get me bogged down in trying to be exact.” WorldWritingTryingRealityImagine 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 have quite a close relationship with violence and horror. They are enjoyable and terrible. I try and offset the horror with a sense of satisfaction or humor. You can't write a book that is entirely dark without having little spots that hopefully make you laugh out loud.” WritingTryingBookDarkLaughingViolenceTerribleHorrorHopefullyEnjoyableClose RelationshipLaugh Out Loud Author:Evie Wyld
“And I do pay a lot of attention to how things feel underneath my feet. It's a way of transporting yourself somewhere that you're trying to write about - closing your eyes and imagining what it feels like to literally be in that space. Maybe because of this weird aura thing I find it a bit easier to put my body in an imaginary space.” WritingTryingEyeAttentionImaginary 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
“I'd love to write full time. But it's not something that is due to me because I'm a writer. Times are very hard for doing the thing you love, but the payoff for not having much money is that you love your job. A balance would be good. But yes, given infinite funds, or a guaranteed regular income of some kind, I'd happily shut myself away and write stories for the rest of what I've got in me.” WritingKindLove YouBalanceInfiniteBe GoodFund Author:Evie Wyld
