Writing Quotes: “Our instinct as human beings is to provide answers, to ease tension. As writers our job is the opposite, to create tension and not dispel it immediately.”
- Sol Stein

Just a steadfast writer, thinking about writing…

Writing Inspiration: The Guiness Book of World Records named Agatha Christie as the bestselling novelist of all time, with more than 2 billion sales. She also accumulated over 500 rejections.

Just a humble writer, thinking about writing…

Most of my writing boils down to engineering, problem solving, building blocks and the mortar that holds them together. Only in the later stages of polishing does anything like “art” come into my work. 🤔

Just a pragmatic writer, thinking about writing…

@theemptymile 😮

[Darran Summerfield @DarranSF]

@Hart_Horrors I'm similar.

[Darran Summerfield @DarranSF]

I don’t think adding an action-hook prologue is the best way to fix a story with a dull start.

Just a genuine writer, thinking about writing…

[Darran Summerfield @DarranSF]

@GilGandel I wish you the best of luck.

Writing Inspiration: Richar Bach received 18 rejections for “Jonathan Livingston Seagull” including “no one is going to want to read a story about a seagull” until Macmillan published it in 1972. It sold over a million copies.

Just a heartened writer, thinking about writing…

@theemptymile Its a lovely photo, it must have been a gorgeous day.

[Darran Summerfield @DarranSF]

@GilGandel You never know, and the very best of luck to you.

[Darran Summerfield @DarranSF]

@theemptymile Yes, I've lived here about four years, and in less than four weeks I'll be moving out of the area. I'll be sad to go, but I'll be back, these mountains are old friends.
