It's not the concrete word per se that has meaning for me but its infinite possibilities, like building blocks in the hands of children. I just sit down and write, and I don't think. And the characters just do it. Sometimes they won't, and that's a bad day. I live for those unexpected moments.
Every man has a thousand faces.
Only through conflict can layer after layer be peeled off, until you find the real man or woman crouching behind the facade.
