I will try rewriting a scene from a different point of view. Or sometimes I have to go back a ways to find where I took the wrong turn. Sometimes I have to take a day off and let the problem simmer in the back of my mind. Sometimes I work on a different project and the solution will come to me.(less)

Sometimes they take the reins and run away from you. Sometimes it works and makes the story better. Sometimes it doesn't and you have to fight with them to regain control.(less)

Martha Wells
“I COULD HAVE BECOME a mass murderer after I hacked my governor module, but then I realized I could access the combined feed of entertainment channels carried on the company satellites. It had been well over 35,000 hours or so since then, with still not much murdering, but probably, I don’t know, a little under 35,000 hours of movies, serials, books, plays, and music consumed. As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.”
Martha Wells, All Systems Red
