Thoughts From
the Mind of a Writer
Unless your hero is a sociopath, characters have to face tough questions and come to a realization that causes change. I would argue that even sociopaths must do this. I mean, look at Dexter - his life was one long shit storm of tough questions. The most important change is not necessarily in the character, but in the audience.

Sometimes a book isn't a heartbreaking work of staggering genius. Sometimes it's the only story you knew how to tell. Unless I tell myself this in order to let myself off the hook and not try my damnedest...
I want to write 'heartbreaking work of staggering genius' - whatever that means to me. Whether or not the world considers my work 'heartbreaking' and of 'staggering genius' is essentially beyond my control. Please stop destroying what is left of your heart by constantly thinking about things that have broken you. Must remember to be kind to myself. Thoughts can be so destructive. I repeat them enough times, they become true and my brain has effectively been rewired.
