On liminal spaces and reshaping the mundane:
As writers, we have the power to imbue the mundane with weight. A hallway is just a hallway until it’s filled with grey smoke and neon energy, then, it’s horror. A wardrobe is just furniture until it leads to a world where sibling betrays sibling over Turkish Delights and a sexy Tilda Swinton. We, ourselves, are manifestations of these spaces, every thought and decision taking us one step from where we are to where we’re going. Where will your Yes take you?
