I am not a person who can write in paragraphs the way some writers do. For me, it’s sentence by sentence, sometimes word-by-word. And I revise constantly. It’s a very laborious process, but I love doing it.

Share on LinkedIn Share on Whatsapp Share on Telegram Yann Martel Quote - Religion is just an alternate way of reading reality – you read material reality, and then you add on an extra layer of religiosity that deepens that understanding of reality. Some countries have lost that capacity, or dismissed it or marginalized it.

In a book, your imagination will do the acting for you. Also, the process of revelation is often different. Tension is achieved in a different way.
