Nobel laureate Alice Munro has shared some thoughts in the past on writing and reading, and Maria Popova collects a few for a post on her Brain Pickings site. Quoting Munro: "A story is not like a road to follow … it’s more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows."
