Inspiring and encouraging quotes for writers.
"The narrative impulse is always with us; we couldn't imagine ourselves through a day without it. ... We need myths to get by. We need story; otherwise the tremendous randomness of experience overwhelms us. Story is what penetrates."

Through my check lane at Target, I sell dozens of gossip mags and novels each week--mostly to women--proving the public's need for myths. That also proves printed media are not about to give way to electronic entertainment. A great story will always have a market.
