Letter to Readers

You talk.
I listen.




You move.
I watch.



You don't know I exist, but I learn from watching you. I absorb the minute details you emit.  I use them.



I write.




I take the smallest sliver from you, about you and I piece it into a character. It takes so many little slivers to create a whole, complete being.



I watch people. I hear words, individual words from many different conversations floating around. I stockpile them away. I rearrange them into to something else.



Nothing goes to waste.



There is a little of each one of you in each person I create. You are all of them and they are all of you.



Good combined with bad. Kind mixed in with evil. All the little slivers compound on each other creating something bigger.



That is how my writing works.
