“If you write, good ideas must come welling up into you so that you have something to write. If good ideas do not come at once, or for a long time, do not be troubled at all. Wait for them. Put down little ideas no matter how insignificant they are. But do not feel, any more, guilty about idleness and solitude.” IfsFeelsWritingLittlesLongIdeasMatterWaitingSolitudeLong TimeGuiltyGood IdeasInsignificantIdleness Author:Brenda Ueland
“If you have the personalities down, you understand them and identify with them; you can stick them in any situation and have a pretty good idea of how they're going to respond. Then it's just a matter of sanding and polishing up the jokes. But if you've got more ambiguous characters or stock stereotypes, the plastic comes through and they don't work as well. These two characters clicked for me almost immediately and I feel very comfortable working with them.” IfsFeelsWellsTwoIdeasMatterCharacterSituationPersonalityComfortableJokesSticksGood IdeasPlasticStereotypeAmbiguityAmbiguous Author:Bill Watterson
