I'm a little bit too obsessed with the news. I find the news easier to follow than narrative entertainment programs.
I think many people need, even require, a narrative version of their life. I seem to be one of them. Writing memoir is, in some ways, a work of wholeness.
I write short, my words tight to the thread of the narrative.
I believe when you're writing film or television, you can't rely on a crutch or rule that exists outside of the narrative of the film.
Now [Sue Grafton] loves writer's block, seeing it as a message from the psyche that the narrative is headed in the wrong direction.
A continuing narrative throughout Australia's history that says it is better to build up than to tear down - this is the continuing mission of Labor.
When I hear music as a fan, I see fields. I see landscapes. I close my eyes and see an entire universe that that music and the voice, or the narrative, create. A music video-and any other kind of visual reference-is created by someone else.
We have a lot of long narrative poems written in the 20th century, but they're not very well known, and they're not read by very many people.
I don't immerse myself in the media narrative every day. I establish my own media narrative, and that's what I live.
Ignore the trade-pub narratives about how little success indies enjoy.
I think if I had been writing fiction, where the work is entirely dependent on the writer's creativity and the potential directions the narrative might take are infinite, I might have frozen
The part of the strangeness of coming back from the war is the way we talk about it. We try to have a discussion about the war that doesn't turn into a discussion about one political side or the other. I wanted to reach out and talk to people about it through fiction, the way a narrative can draw someone in and ask them those questions.
I like to move around in the landscape between poetry and prose, between the lyrical and the narrative.
Persons attempting to find a motive in this narrative will be prosecuted; persons attempting to find a moral in it will be banished; persons attempting to find a plot in it will be shot. BY ORDER OF THE AUTHOR per G. G. , CHIEF OF ORDNANCE
There's nothing else exactly like it in any other art form, the orchestration of so many different elements. It's endlessly fascinating what can be done editorially. You can create meaning where there was none, you can create feeling where there was none, you can create narrative where there was none. Two frames can be the difference between something that works and something that doesn't. It's fascinating.
Art brings a message into a room. It should make us perceive in a new way - either through color, form or narrative content - something we had not perceived before. . . and perhaps reveal something to you about yourself.
The comics medium has some unusual features that do make it very different, in that it's combining a verbal narrative with a visual one that allows for much richer possibilities of transmitting information.
It's interesting to think about the history of Israel in relation to the history of the U. S. . There were Native Americans living here that U. S. settlers totally displaced, and that narrative is not connected with the Isreal-Palestinian struggle at all.
I tried to control the narrative.
History is a set of skills rather than a narrative.
