What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Deborah Leigh Not only does being a writer give you a legitimate space to stow all those scenarios that float around in your Writer Head, but, for better or worse, …moreNot only does being a writer give you a legitimate space to stow all those scenarios that float around in your Writer Head, but, for better or worse, you decide the trajectory of the story. If you don't like a character, you can do more than kill him off. You can just not write him and write somebody else instead. You decide whodunit, in what universe we travel, and why we're...anywhere...in the first place. Within the confines of craft, it is the ultimate freedom.(less)

Quotes by Deborah Leigh (?)

“There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse; as I have found in travelling in a stage-coach, that it is often a comfort to shift one's position and be bruised in a new place. —Washington Irving Chapter”
― Deborah Leigh, Wake Not the Hangman
