And a little about quotations. I love quotes. Quotes immortalize writers–perhaps even more than our books do. That’s a scary thought. But I love them. Here are a few that I especially relate to, today, as I work my way though my work in progress:
Plot from the murderer’s point of view and write from the detective’s point of view.
~Erle Stanley Gardner, mystery writer
Layers don’t come from subplots, but from additional problems in the protagonist’s life.
~Donald Maass, editor and writer
You can’t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.
~Jack London
