If I remain true to the simplest form of conflict, I almost always come up with plenty of ideas to torture my character:)! Does that sound mean? That sounds mean. But we want to see our heroes overcome obstacles!(less)

The Overstory by Richard Powers
"As someone who deeply believes in the mission of this book, I was shocked that I didn't couldn't get into it. Maybe I would have loved it with half as many characters and 200 fewer pages. With so many separate (and often completely non-intersecting) " Read more of this review »
