If you're silent for a long time, people just arrive in your mind.
But silence is not a natural environment for stories. They need words. Without them they grown pale, sicken and die. And then they haunt you.
I can't imagine writing a novel without some sound. When you're facing a few hundred blank pages, silence can be cold.
I can't write when it's silent. But the music can't have lyrics.
The longer one doesn't write, the more difficult it is to communicate.
The silence killed your faith.
