Thought of the day…

Me, writing my characters into an impossibly complicated situation: oh, yeah... now THIS has drama... threat... intrigue... energy... the genius of it all!Me, realizing I'm the one who has to then get them out of said impossibly complicated situation: I am a Fool and a Jester

Read, read, read…

"Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window."--William Faulkner
