Writing

Writing is a way of creating order out of chaos, of taking charge of one's own story, being the sovereign of the self by pushing back against received knowledge and guarding the sanctity of the dwelling place of the imagination, that place of first permission.

I have read a few novels about serial killers. I wonder if some of those authors aren't just writing about things they would do if they thought they wouldn't get caught. Even if that's what they are doing, I'm not afraid of those people. They don't live in my neighborhood.
