“Adaptation is always the same process for me, which is some version of throwing the book at the wall and seeing what pages fall out. It is trying to imagine, remember the story, read it, put it down, and then write sort of an outline without the book in front of you with some hope that what you like about it will be filtered and distilled out through your memory and then that will be similar to what other people like about it.” PeopleWritingTryingBookStoriesRememberFallProcessMemoriesImagineSeeingFrontsWallPagesDown AndVersionsThrowingAdaptationOur MemoriesOutlines Author:Akiva Goldsman
“I love writing songs with people, which is about really taking risks, throwing yourself over the falls and really seeing what you're made of and seeing how it sticks. Seeing how others react to it, and seeing also how it can become a melody and how it can really take off from your experience. It's a way of seeing life unfold on the page before me.” PeopleWayWritingMadeSongFallSeeingRiskPagesSticksMelodyThrowingWriting SongsTaking Risks Author:Jason Mraz
“If you had a system that could read all the pages and understand the context, instead of just throwing back 26 million pages to answer your query, it could actually answer the question.
