We've got to reinvest in space travel. We should have never left the moon.

We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.

If we try to deny the darkness in our souls then we'll become completely dark.

Remember: Plot is no more than footprints left in the snow after your characters have run by on their way to incredible destinations. Plot is observed after the fact rather than before. It cannot precede action. It is the chart that remains when an action is through. That is all Plot ever should be. It is human desire let run, running, and reaching a goal. It cannot be mechanical. It can only be dynamic.

My goal is to entertain myself and others.

You must never name the goal. You must never tell us the target you're hitting for. You must automatically go toward it without ever naming it.

In your reading, find books to improve your color sense, your sense of shape and size in the world.
