As a writer, talking about the past is a sort of creative necessity, I find, if you want to have certain material that you have perspective on. It’s much more interesting to have things happening in the past. I can deal with memory—and things get more dramatic and romantic—and you can reconstitute elements of the past with that helpful filter.
