The weird thing is that working within an established story was actually kind of liberating. You know the beginning and middle and end, more or less, so there's less pressure to figure all that out.
Dave Eggers
Image
Every time I get through the work on a book of nonfiction, I say I'll never do it again it takes so much out of you.
