Quotes by Robb Forman Dew (?)

“Everything funnels into your book. It’s as if you’ve gone mad. It’s a strange absorption about this alternate world and the way it mixes with your real life… When I’m writing it’s as if everything’s in more vivid colors. Things are just more fraught… [Y]ou want to get back to the place where everything is significant.”
― Robb Forman Dew
