More From Rod Serling

The book is finished by the reader. a good novel should invite the reader in and let the reader participate in the creative experience and bring their own life experiences to it, interpret with their own individual life experiences. every reader gets something different from a book and every reader, in a sense, completes it in a different way.
Book Creative Way
We must be forewarned that only rarely does a text easily lend itself to the reader's curiosity... the reading of a text is a transaction between the reader and the text, which mediates the encounter between the reader and writer. it is a composition between the reader and the writer in which the reader "rewrites" the text making a determined effort not to betray the author's spirit.
Reading Learning Effort
My father was a writer, so i grew up writing and reading and i was really encouraged by him. i had some sort of gift and when it came time to try to find a publisher i had a little bit of an "in" because i had his agent i could turn to, to at least read my initial offerings when i was about 20. but the only problem was that they were just awful, they were just terrible stories and my agent, who ended up being my agent, was very, very sweet about it, but it took about four years until i actually had something worth trying to sell.
Sweet Father Reading
The artist is the lowest form of life on the rung of the ladder. the publishers are usually businessmen who deal with businessmen. they deal with promotional people. they deal with financial people. they deal with accountants. they deal with people who work on higher levels. they deal with tax people, but have absolutely no interest in artists, in individual artists, especially very young artists.
Artist People Ladders
Every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. the writer's work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. the reader's recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book's truth.
Book Might Recognition
I fired a bunch of people and kind of went back to my roots. i fired my agent - i had this big, fancy agent and a big fancy manager and a big fancy lawyer - and i went back to my first agent and said, "i want to go back to just being an actor."

Pain Deep Love Roots
Uprootedness uproots everything except the need for roots.
Roots Needs
Find out the reason that commands you to write; see whether it has spread its roots into the very depth of your heart; confess to yourself you would have to die if you were forbidden to write.
Writing Heart Roots
Humanity has known for a long time what fractals are. it is a very strange situation in which an idea which each time i look at all documents have deeper and deeper roots, never (how to say it), jelled.
