Birthed from the heart or is it?
00:22:55.173 --> 00:22:55.306
It? >> well, ever since tuesdays
00:22:55.440 --> 00:22:56.007
>> well, ever since tuesdays with morrie i've tried to write
00:22:56.141 --> 00:22:56.775
With morrie i've tried to write books that have the theme first
00:22:56.908 --> 00:22:59.344
Books that have the theme first and the plot second.
00:22:59.477 --> 00:22:59.911
And the plot second. so i try to come up with a
00:23:00.045 --> 00:23:00.845
So i try to come up with a theme and then create a story
00:23:00.979 --> 00:23:02.814
Theme and then create a story around it.
00:23:02.947 --> 00:23:03.181
Around it. so in this case i wanted to
00:23:03.314 --> 00:23:03.915
So in this case i wanted to write about the grass is always
00:23:04.049 --> 00:23:06.117
Write about the grass is always greener because people are
00:23:06.251 --> 00:23:06.785
Greener because people are always talking about if only i
00:23:06.918 --> 00:23:07.519
Always talking about if only i had done this.
00:23:07.652 --> 00:23:07.986
Had done this. so i said well what about if i
00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:10.522
So i said well what about if i create a story where a guy can
00:23:10.655 --> 00:23:11.222
Create a story where a guy can do that?
00:23:11.356 --> 00:23:11.556
Do that? so there's this guy named alfie
00:23:11.690 --> 00:23:14.192
So there's this guy named alfie who finds out when he's eight
00:23:14.325 --> 00:23:14.926
Who finds out when he's eight years old that he has a magical
00:23:15.060 --> 00:23:15.727
Years old that he has a magical ability do everything in his
00:23:15.860 --> 00:23:18.163
Ability do everything in his life twice he can go back and
00:23:18.296 --> 00:23:19.030
Life twice he can go back and fix anything but he has to live
00:23:19.164 --> 00:23:22.300
Fix anything but he has to live with the consequences of his
00:23:22.434 --> 00:23:23.001
With the consequences of his second try.
00:23:23.134 --> 00:23:23.401
Second try. there's no going back.
00:23:23.535 --> 00:23:26.037
There's no going back. and so he goes through his
00:23:26.171 --> 00:23:26.805
And so he goes through his adolescence kind of fixing his
00:23:26.938 --> 00:23:27.572
Adolescence kind of fixing his mistake and his embarrassments
00:23:27.706 --> 00:23:30.875
Mistake and his embarrassments with people and then when he
00:23:31.009 --> 00:23:31.609
With people and then when he becomes a man he finds
00:23:31.743 --> 00:23:33.611
Becomes a man he finds one caveat to the power.
00:23:33.745 --> 00:23:34.245
One caveat to the power. it doesn't work with love.
00:23:34.379 --> 00:23:37.315
It doesn't work with love. and so if someone loves you and
00:23:37.449 --> 00:23:38.183
And so if someone loves you and you decide to walk away from
00:23:38.316 --> 00:23:40.952
You decide to walk away from that and try somebody else go
00:23:41.086 --> 00:23:41.820
That and try somebody else go back in time, that first person
00:23:41.953 --> 00:23:44.189
Back in time, that first person can never love you again.
00:23:44.322 --> 00:23:44.856
Can never love you again. and of course he has to a very
00:23:44.989 --> 00:23:47.959
And of course he has to a very fateful decision at one point
00:23:48.093 --> 00:23:48.693
Fateful decision at one point in the book.
00:23:48.827 --> 00:23:49.094
In the book. >> why was it important to you
00:23:49.227 --> 00:23:51.096
>> why was it important to you put that caveat as you say in
00:23:51.229 --> 00:23:51.896
Put that caveat as you say in there in that story?
00:23:52.030 --> 00:23:52.497
There in that story? >> well, that's a good question
00:23:52.630 --> 00:23:55.166
>> well, that's a good question because love is not a
00:23:55.300 --> 00:23:55.767
Because love is not a basketball shot that you miss.
00:23:55.900 --> 00:23:58.737
Basketball shot that you miss. you go back and you fix and you
00:23:58.870 --> 00:23:59.704
You go back and you fix and you make up you know, everybody
00:23:59.838 --> 00:24:02.674
Make up you know, everybody seems to like the new car smell
00:24:02.807 --> 00:24:03.441
Seems to like the new car smell of love.
00:24:03.575 --> 00:24:03.775
Of love. you know, it's a love is
00:24:03.908 --> 00:24:06.077
You know, it's a love is sometimes something where
00:24:06.211 --> 00:24:06.711
Sometimes something where something we want then we get
00:24:06.845 --> 00:24:07.479
Something we want then we get it we don't want it anymore
00:24:07.612 --> 00:24:09.914
It we don't want it anymore which is weird because we're
00:24:10.048 --> 00:24:10.615
Which is weird because we're not like that with ice cream.
00:24:10.749 --> 00:24:11.382
Not like that with ice cream. >> you know what we want we get
00:24:11.516 --> 00:24:12.183
>> you know what we want we get we want but with love we always
00:24:12.317 --> 00:24:15.019
We want but with love we always have our eye on the other
00:24:15.153 --> 00:24:15.653
Have our eye on the other thing.
00:24:15.787 --> 00:24:15.954

Day it's the first day and the hundredth day and the 10th day.
00:24:20.592 --> 00:24:21.292
Hundredth day and the 10th day. >> and so i wanted him to have
00:24:21.426 --> 00:24:22.360
>> and so i wanted him to have to pay a price if he walked
00:24:22.494 --> 00:24:24.763
To pay a price if he walked away from real love because is
00:24:24.896 --> 00:24:28.399
Away from real love because is the full out thing.
00:24:28.533 --> 00:24:28.967

Kitchen and our kitchen's been remodeled a bunch of times

Remodeled a bunch of times because we're in the same house
00:24:37.675 --> 00:24:38.309
Because we're in the same house for a a long time but there's a
00:24:38.443 --> 00:24:40.612
For a a long time but there's a wall in our kitchen just

This is one of them of our life together.
00:24:43.548 --> 00:24:43.782
Together. >> and there are times where

And you're crazy the wall because that's the life that

00:24:55.326 --> 00:24:58.096
We've built and that's love is and that's why i may have to

And that's why i may have to pay a price for giving it up
00:24:58.963 --> 00:24:59.697
Pay a price for giving it up something.
00:24:59.831 --> 00:25:01.332
Something. your main character says about

But also realizing that you get second chances in your life and
00:25:43.908 --> 00:25:44.542
Second chances in your life and you need to understand what to
00:25:44.676 --> 00:25:47.111
You need to understand what to do with them because i've been
00:25:47.245 --> 00:25:47.879
Do with them because i've been given that you know first part
00:25:48.012 --> 00:25:50.415
Given that you know first part of my life i was just a real
00:25:50.548 --> 00:25:51.282
Of my life i was just a real ambitious go crazy sportswriter
00:25:51.416 --> 00:25:54.652

I know it's it's fine to come up with a story about a serial
00:27:03.021 --> 00:27:05.890
Up with a story about a serial killer and great plot but to me
00:27:06.024 --> 00:27:08.526
Killer and great plot but to me if a book doesn't make you
00:27:08.660 --> 00:27:09.294
If a book doesn't make you think when you're done then i
00:27:09.427 --> 00:27:12.764
Think when you're done then i haven't done my job and so i
00:27:12.897 --> 00:27:13.531
Haven't done my job and so i wanted people to walk away from
00:27:13.665 --> 00:27:17.001
Wanted people to walk away from twice understanding that it
00:27:17.135 --> 00:27:17.702
Twice understanding that it would be to have a magical
00:27:17.835 --> 00:27:20.705
Would be to have a magical power to go back and do things
00:27:20.838 --> 00:27:21.539
Power to go back and do things twice but.
