When I first started, I was afraid the stories would slip away, and that I needed to contain/transcribe them ASAP. I was angry/irritated all the time, wanting to capture them, afraid they’d disappear.

Later, I realized the stories are ALWAYS there. In some quantum niche, they actually exist (Dark Tower, anyone?) By trusting that, you become open to them and they in turn trust you: To honor them and bring them to life.
