What a Coincidence!

Coincidence is the duct tape of fiction writing. It’s used to fix all kinds of problems in a novel, but although it kind of works, it’s not a pretty fix and readers, like the homeowner who hired a lazy plumber to fix a leak, will not like it.

Quotes by Anthony Bruno (?)

“You’re a problem child because you got that big bad terminal disease that a lot of us have. You’ve got standards, principles, a conscience, call it what you will, but you’ve got it and you’ve got it bad. You know right from wrong, and you’ve got the guts to say so. But that’s what happens to the people afflicted with this pitiful disease when they start to understand how the system really works. It’s a very bad condition to have if you wanna work for the state, my dear, but you’ve got it, and believe me, there ain’t no gettin’ rid of it.”
― Anthony Bruno, Devil's Food
