I can be so blown away by story lines.
From the 3rd century onwards, orthodox Christianity, based on a Hebrew story and worshipping the Jew Jesus, also led many campaigns of anti-Semitism.
God is the very first piece of the Christian Story because the Story is all about Him. He is the central character, not us. The Story is not so much about God's plan for our lives as it is about our lives for God's plan.
You want in all cases for the story to get through the writing.
A good writer is basically a story teller, not a scholar or a redeemer of mankind.
Well, you know, going into any project, especially with a fan base as vocal and passionate as something as "Star Wars," you will have groups of people who will find issues with whatever it is you're doing. But our job was to tell the best story we could about characters that we loved, and we knew that we needed to go backwards to go forwards, and we needed to go back to a feeling and a place and a time.
Whether every story that's there [in the Bible] is a historic truth. . . Again, I'm not concerned.
The way to tell a really big story, I think, is to tell a really small story.
I think that people who don't mind reading find the immersion and their ability to get into a deeper place with the story to be satisfying. That's the kind of reader I want.
Fiction and non-fiction are only different techniques of story telling. For reasons I do not fully understand, fiction dances out of me. Non-fiction is wrenched out by the aching, broken world I wake up to every morning.
A child's own story is a dream, but a good story is a dream that is true for more than one child.
I decided that I would write one story about each thing that I knew about.
