Quotation
Quote by Wes Anderson
When you're writing a story, it often feels less like you're doing architecture and more like you're doing excavation—we're just unearthing it.

Understanding this quote
Writing a story is compared to excavation rather than architecture. Instead of designing every part from the beginning, the writer discovers the story piece by piece, as if it is already buried and waiting to be uncovered. The comparison suggests that characters, events, and connections may emerge during the writing process rather than being fully planned in advance.
