John Darnielle
I don't really have any position to complain about my job. Yeah, every job has its moments like, Ah, you know, it's Wednesday. But I'm blessed. I love my work.
John Darnielle
I start writing, pull whatever images happen to occur to me and make up a story, instead of starting with details that are real and I know of and going from there.
John Darnielle
I make up stories that take place in real space with real people. If I could convert this into a technique for experimental novels, I might really be onto something.
