“Part of writing a novel is being willing to leap into the blackness. You have very little idea, really, of what's going to happen. You have a broad sense, maybe, but it's this rash leap. It's like spelunking. You kind of create the right path for yourself. But, boy, are there so many points at which you think, absolutely, I'm going down the wrong hole here.

This is one of life's greatest truths.” ShouldPastChangeWalksStepsPathKeysRight NowLetting GoLaysConnectedSomething NewLeapLeap Of FaithPredetermined Author:Richard Moss
