I'm not really a plot writer - I'm more interested in the characters and sort of small events that propel the story forward.
Sara Zarr
Image
It makes me think of Lazarus. He must have had those shadows after his miracle. You don't spend time in the tomb without it changing you, and everyone who was waiting for you to come out.
Sara Zarr
Image
I don't like to do too much psychological research because it might turn a character into a patchwork.
