“You cannot overestimate the role of intuition in fiction writing. Or the role of accident or randomness. These things are very central. This is never really admitted. You have to cover the pages. You have to have those people do things. And the things they do have to be relevant to the entire concern. The specific things they do don't much matter, you just have to have them do something that counts.” PeopleWritingConcernIntuitionRelevantRandomnessOverestimate Author:Peter Straub

“Because dead people are just like you and me, they still want things. They look at us all the time, and they miss being alive. We have taste and color and smell and feelings, and they don’t have any of those things. They stare at us, they don’t miss anything. They really see what’s going on, and we hardly ever really see that. We’re too busy thinking about things and getting everything wrong, so we miss ninety percent of what’s happening.” PeopleThinkingWantLooksStillsFeelingsAliveMissingColorLike YouTasteHappeningsPercentBusySmellStaringNinetyToo BusyDead People Author:Peter Straub
