Writing fiction is the same; no matter how far you go, or a how deep a place you go to, in the end when you finish writing, you have to return to the place where you started. That is the final destination. However, the starting point to which you return is never the starting point where you actually started. The scenery is the same, and the faces are the same, and things placed there are the same. However, something fundamental has changed significantly. That's what we discover; it's your discovery. To know that difference is also one of your prime objectives - or at least to acknowledge that difference.”",
