Quote of the Day for Monday, 2/25/08

"Write several short openings to the same story... Don't consciously judge these openings. Instead, keep producing variations... Once you've done this a few times, you'll become quite adept at producing these by merely moving through the possibilities. And, inevitably, one of the variations will click in your mind, and you'll feel a sense of rightness and eagerness-- 'Yes this is it.' That is one of the major pleasures in writing fiction." --Nancy Kress
