“Books choose their authors; the act of creation is not entirely a rational and conscious one.”
— Salman Rushdie
Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, it feels like certain stories are meant to be told by specific people, almost as if the stories find their writers. When an author begins to write, the ideas and inspiration don't always come from a logical or planned place. It’s more about a special connection with the story. Think of it like when you have an amazing dream that you can’t get out of your head and you need to tell someone about it. The ideas just flow out naturally, without much thinking. For example, J.K. Rowling came up with Harry Potter’s character when she was on a train, and the whole story just seemed to come to her out of nowhere. If you feel inspired to do something creative or tell a story, trust those feelings, because sometimes the best ideas come from your heart, not your mind.
