There's an old saying: 'No piece of writing is ever finished, it's just abandoned.' But my own rule is: No piece of work is done until you want to kill everyone involved in the publishing process, especially yourself.

And the more she could imagine this island, the less she liked the real world. The more she could imagine the people, the less she liked any real people.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Imagination can lead to discontent with reality.
This quote suggests that one's imagination can create an idealized version of the world, which may ultimately lead to dissatisfaction with the actual world and its inhabitants. As the character envisions a better escape, she becomes increasingly critical and disillusioned with real people and situations, highlighting the potential dangers of living too deeply in one's fantasies.

We're all trapped. It's always 1734. All of us, we're stuck in the same time capsule, the same as those television shows where the same people are marooned on the same desert island for thirty seasons and never age or escape. They just wear more makeup. In a creepy way, those shows are maybe too authentic.

If you knew that your life was merely a phase or short, short segment of your entire existence, how would you live? Knowing nothing 'real' was at risk, what would you do?
