when I write I know that the best I can do is acting, guessing what words might be right, mask-wearing in myself and pretending to feel, pretending the words are true. Are all books deceptions, all writers cheats? I’d like to write words with no filter, no gap to jump between the spark in my head and the way it reads on the page. Words that are better than games and acting. Words that are as real and honest as the light.
