The Saturday Writing Quote

“Creative writing is not an escape. It’s the opposite. Fiction demands that we dive headfirst into puddles of conflict others might choose to sidestep. It asks that we scratch and dig until we unearth emotional truths, and then find a way to convey them so that a reader we’ve never met can share the same journey.”

– Kathryn Craft, on Writer Unboxed: Seeking Truth in Fiction, 1/10/19
