More From Oliver North

A reader is entitled to believe what he or she believes is consonant with the facts of the book. it is not unusual that readers take away something that is spiritually at variance from what i myself experienced. that's not to say readers make up the book they want. we all have to agree on the facts. but readers bring their histories and all sets of longings. a book will pluck the strings of those longings differently among different readers.
Believe Book Different
Before we were born, a whole society of storytellers was already here. the storytellers who were here before us taught us how to be human.
Taught Us Born Storyteller
Real writers-that is, capital w writers-rarely make much money. their biggest reward is the occasional reader's response.... commentators-in-print voicing big fat opinions-you might call us small w writers-get considerably more feedback than writers. the letters i personally find most flattering are not the very rare ones that speak well of my editorials, but the occasional reader who wants to know who writes them. i always happily assume the letter-writers is implying that the editorials are so good that i couldn't have written them myself.
Real Writing Letters
We writers – and especially writers for children, but all writers – have an obligation to our readers: it's the obligation to write true things, especially important when we are creating tales of people who do not exist in places that never were – to understand that truth is not in what happens but what it tells us about who we are. fiction is the lie that tells the truth, after all.
Children Lying Writing
The ear is the only true writer and the only true reader. i know people who read without hearing the sentence sounds and they were the fastest readers. eye readers we call them. they get the meaning by glances. but they are bad readers because they miss the best part of what a good writer puts into his work.
Eye People Missing
I believe in books that do not go to a ready-made public. i'm looking for readers i would like to make. to win them, to create readers rather than to give something that readers are expecting. that would bore me to death.
