Carol Berg I never believed I could write anything. No way – write a whole story? Figuring out all that plotting and symbolism? How do you foreshadow things? – Carol Berg Believed Quotes Figuring Quotes Foreshadow Quotes Plotting Quotes Story Quotes Symbolism Quotes Write Quotes One of the things that put me off writing for a while was that piece of advice everybody gives new writers: ‘Write what you know.’ Nobody would ever want to read about my boring life! But I do know a lot of things about different societies’ cultures and mythologies. The way people were and are. My college roommate gave me her copy of ‘Lord of the Rings,’ and I read that probably five or six times – not because I think it’s the greatest thing ever written, though some people certainly think it is – but the world he creates is so vivid. So real that he designed its own languages, history and mythology.
