Out of the Silent Planet
I really want a tattoo. But I can't seem to catch a minute to go get one.
There's a big bump in my wife's belly. I'm told it's my son, and I can't wait to meet him. I'm standing on the brink of something lifechanging; something, for once, I do see coming, and you know what? It's pointless to worry about the things you don't see coming. It's pointless to wish that you could see them. If you could...it wouldn't feel real to you. Somehow, probably the most universal human experience feels like the most personal and revolutionary event, space man. Which just goes to show you.
Emotions
only tell you
how you feel.
"Characterization requires an extreme degree of selectivity. A human being is the most complex entity on earth; a writer's task is to select the essentials out of that enormous complexity, then proceed to create an individual figure, endowing it with all the appropriate details down to the telling small touches needed to give it a full reality. That figure has to be an abstraction, yet look like a concrete; it as to have the universality of an abstraction and, simultaneously, the unrepeatable uniqueness of a person."

I wish I knew more characters in my life...
