PROSE
He wanted to cry quietly but not for himself: for the words, so beautiful and sad, like music.

PEOPLE
I’m always writing about character first. Plot, such as it is, comes from the characters.
- Daniel Woodrell
An author knows his landscape best; he can stand around, smell the wind, get a feel for his place.
