" Writing does not exist unless there is someone to read it, and each reader will take something different from the novel, from a chapter, from a line...a book becomes a living thing only when it interacts with a reader. What do you think happens in the gaps-the unsaid things, everything you don't write? The reader fills them from their own imagination. But does each reader fill them how you want, or in the same way? Of course not. "
