Random writing thought: the best stories are often the ones that only you could have written — but also the ones that you could only write at this one moment.
I couldn’t write All the Birds in the Sky from scratch now if I tried. But the me of 2013 couldn’t have written The Prodigal Mother either.
When people ask if I’d change anything about a book I’ve already written, I want to explain to them that I’m not the person who wrote that book any longer, and even if I tried right now I’d write a different one. Everything you make as a writer* is a combination of what you want to say and who you are at the time you are telling that story.
*possibly also as an artist or as a human being
