I found that, once I finished a first draft, I would often find that I was more enthusiastic about it and I could work with what I had to make it better. With fiction, if I find myself straying from writing, I make myself do housework. I hate housework!(less)

I start with characters and think about why they would do something or how they would react to something. If I have a strong sense of who the character is, it comes very easily. If I'm struggling, it's time to reassess and re-evaluate who that character is. Obviously, most of my writing is very heavy on characterization. (less)

“But when you’re away for too long, you forget things, and they want it that way. They used to steal children: cut their hair, make them speak English and wear European clothes. They want us to assimilate, because that’s how they’ll beat us, by making us forget who we are.”
M.B. Miller, Neon and Tinsel
