Sometimes those scenes are ridiculous and get cut. Sometimes those scenes are surprisingly good and earn their place in the story. Either way, it keeps me writing, and that is what's important.(less)

Sometimes, their journey goes a direction I hadn't anticipated when I came up with my original concept, and it's fun seeing those unexpected twists and turns develop.(less)

Oscar Wilde
“The suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.”
Oscar Wilde

Harper Lee
“Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.”
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Harper Lee
“Real courage is when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

Richard  Adams
“All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.”
Richard Adams, Watership Down
