A Quote by Elizabeth Berg

I feel like in the reading I did when I was growing up, and also in the way that people talk and tell stories here in the South, they use a lot of figurative language. The stories that I heard when I was growing up, and the stories that I read, taught me to use the kind of language that I do. It's hard for me to work against that when I am writing.

The time has come for writers to become inaccessible again.

We keep each other alive with our stories. We need to share them, as much as we need to share food. We also require for our health the presence of good companions.
