"Don't try to follow in my footsteps. Make your own footsteps! No one else can tell the stories that are inside of you except for you."

Previous Quote

My short stories are like soft shadows I have set out in the world, faint footprints I have left. I remember exactly where I set down each and every one of them, and how I felt when I did. Short stories are like guideposts to my heart.

— Haruki Murakami
