Where in a superhero cartoon or movie it wasn't really the hero doing all that bad stuff, it was his evil twin. I just took it a little further, and gave everyone an "evil" twin, to see what would happen. (less)

NaNoWriMo Prep, Part Eight: Strategies and Tips

Tip #1
Be excited about your story. If you're not excited about what you're writing, then you're going to procrastinate. I don't like writing educational blog posts. I kind of hate it, actually. This would be why, almost every week, even though I had a full seven days to write one, it doesn't usually get finished until the day before I need to post it. Don't be like me. Find a way to be excited abo Read more of this blog post »

Arthur Conan Doyle
“How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?”
Arthur Conan Doyle, The Sign of Four

Gillian Anderson
“Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with.”
Gillian Anderson

Anne Frank
“How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.”
Anne Frank, Anne Frank's Tales from the Secret Annex: A Collection of Her Short Stories, Fables, and Lesser-Known Writings

Malcolm X
“You're not to be so blind with patriotism that you can't face reality. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it or says it.”
Malcolm X, By Any Means Necessary
