If I am having trouble with what happens next, but know something that will happen later, I may write the scenes out of order. Sometimes forcing yourself to write even five lines is enough, but sometimes you really need to go out for a walk. Is the issue that you are scared, or that you are following the wrong track with a plot line? And it really just depends.(less)

It is almost as if you are discovering the story, and learning it, instead of writing it, and that amazes me.(less)

Writing about books I read because of school, I strongly recommended The Non-Designer's Design Book by Robin Williams (not that one):

It started with an obvious nod to Mean Girls plus a character named Karen, concerning me that it was going to be a little heavy-handed.

From that, and maybe that obvious humor is needed to help with some of the tension, there are really sensitive port

It's nice to see Abraham Lincoln as an animal lover.

The story comes from the recollections of a friend. They don't have strong verification, perhaps, but it's fun to think about.

Kind of fascinating as historical fiction, not merely because there is so much more we can look at for the history now.

There are issues with the time and culture that are very frustrating. I think the way they are handled is realistic, but there is a

All Fishermen Are Liars by Linda Greenlaw

I thought it would be a lot more fun, but the fatality count is really high and a lot of the people are pretty terrible.

I may have been naive.

Gerard Way
“Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself to become a new person.”
― gerard way

Audre Lorde
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”
― audre lorde

“Look you wanna know the truth? I don’t really care about the
stats or the cup or the trophy or anything like that. In fact even the games aren’t that important to me. What matters to me is the perfect throw, making the perfect catch, the perfect step and block. Perfection. That's what it's about. It's those moments. When you can feel the perfection of creation. The beauty the physics you know the wonder of mathematics. The elations of action and reaction and that is the kind of perfection that I want to be connected to.”
― Samuel Anders

Václav Havel
“In an era when metaphysical and existential certainties are in a state of crisis, when people are being uprooted and alienated and are losing their sense of what this world means, this ideology inevitably has a certain hypnotic charm. To wandering humankind it offers an immediately available home: all one has to do is accept it, and suddenly everything becomes clear once more, life takes on new meaning, and all mysteries, unanswered questions, anxiety, and loneliness vanish. Of course, one pays dearly for this low-rent home: the price is abdication of one’ s own reason, conscience, and responsibility, for an essential aspect of this ideology is the consignment of reason and conscience to a higher authority. The principle involved here is that the center of power is identical with the center of truth.”
― Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless

Václav Havel
“If the main pillar of the system is living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to it is living the truth. This is why it must be suppressed more severely than anything else.”
― Václav Havel, The Power of the Powerless
