“Every writer, while writing her current work, thinks of a hundred great stories she should write instead of her current work.

 

Don’t change. Stick with one story for thirty days. Then, if you decide you’d rather write about unicorn bank robbers instead of singing fish, go ahead.

 

Don’t forget those other ideas. Keep a notepad handy. Write them down. (To this day, I kick myself for not jotting down the Greatest Story Idea of All Time before it fled my mind.) Because unicorn bank robbers sound like a great sequel to singing fish.”
