BOTB2

8/2 - I want to rock right now, and I am internationally known, according to my ebook sales.

Yesterday I had a major breakthrough with the Brotherhood arc. A simple question: what if they go here first, instead of there? What a game changer. This got me past a major hurdle, though admittedly it also created two new problems, but I'll cross those bridges when I get to them...or just blow them up and swim across.

I went to another author's website because I'm reading him and was curious to learn more about him. I started reading his tips for writing, and I was super encouraged to discover that some of his advice was very similar to some of the thoughts I've been sharing in this blog, which chased away the fears that I've been talking out my ear this whole time. I'm on the right track! And I haven't misled anyone! Double yay!!

It occurred to me this morning that sharing opinions can be potentially dangerous in that they have the ability to start needless debates. Yes, needless. Why? Because in our minds (we all do this) an opinion HAS to be either right or wrong. There's nothing wrong with feeling passionate about our opinions, as long as we're able to acknowledge and respect the validity of others' passion for a different or opposing opinion. They are not wrong, or stupid - after all, it's just an opinion.

Some opinions seem more important than others, but there are very few absolute truths in this world. No one gets into a heated debate over whether or not gravity exists.

Anyway, back to the book. Things are about to go boom....

I did the math, and while it still takes 2 to make a thing go right, it actually takes 37 to make it outta' sight.
