When those characters become real for other people, and when they're moved or touched or thrilled by what you've done, then it makes all the hard day's, all the struggles, all the self-doubt worthwhile. Writers live for their readers. Without them, we are nothing!(less)

“Run,” he cried, “just run.” He was breathless, a look of wild terror in his eyes, but this time he ran the right way, into the woods. Peter and Billy followed him until they reached the trees.”
