Do you sometimes forget what was in your own stories?

In a way I do. You�re so into the story when you�re writing it, and it�s all-consuming. You think about it when you�re eating breakfast and you think about it when you�re driving home and, for me, once it�s sort of launched I don�t remember it as well.

I watch it, and I�m surprised by what happens in it. Maybe I only have so much room in my brain but once I write something it�s out the door and into the world of fiction. I think also the problem is that you remember all the other possibilities, the roads not travelled that you discussed in the writer�s room.

You think, "Well, what if it�s this, and what if it�s that?" Sometimes you�re talking to a friend who�s a fan and they say, "What happened there?" and you think, "Which way did it go? Which way did they see it go?" So I hope I can remember what I wrote.
