I have never kept diaries. I just remember a lot and am more self-centered than most people.

Now i no longer believe that people's secrets are defined and communicable, or their feelings full-blown and easy to recognize.

She keeps on hoping from a word from Penelope, but not in any strenuous way. She hopes as people who know better hope for undeserved blessings, spontaneous remissions, things of that sort.
broken-heart people lovers
Lovers. Not a soft word, as people thought, but cruel and tearing.
people world strange
I was amazed as people must be who are seized and kidnapped, and who realize that in the strange world of their captors they have a value absolutely unconnected with anything they know about themselves.

moving writing people
I want my stories to move people ... to feel some kind of reward from the writing.

Anecdotes don't make good stories. Generally I dig down underneath them so far that the story that finally comes out is not what people thought their anecdotes were about.
