I don’t think any of them is necessary, but they all play an incredibly important role in building a body of literature, in introducing new authors to new readers, and extending reading Picture Quote #1

The studios don’t seem to foster good writing. They’re not so interested in that, but they’re more interested in what worked most recently. They’re definitely very serious about making money, and that’s not a wrong thing, but you don’t have to make money the same way all the time Picture Quote #1

Generally, my writing is influenced by living, by absorbing everything that happens to me and my actions Picture Quote #1
