a quote i found in the recent writers newsletter

"Fiction is an art that calls for the strictest attention to the real—whether the writer is writing a naturalistic story or fantasy. I mean that we always begin with what is or with what has an eminent possibility of truth about it. Even when one writes fantasy, reality is the proper basis of it. A thing is fantastic because it is so real, so real that it is fantastic."
~ Flannery O'Connor
