“I make a habit of setting aside some time each evening to take out my knitting and work quietly on it, happily relaxing. I believe that it prepares me for sleep and washes away the cares of my day.I will consider that intarsia, or Fair Isle with three or more colors in a row, prepares nobody for sleep and cursing loudly while flinging knitting around the living room is about as far away from soothing as you can get.” BelieveCareThreeI BelieveSleepRoomsColorHabitFairsSettingSettingsEveningFar AwayLiving RoomSoothingKnittingCursingIsle Book:At Knit's End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much Source: At Knit's End: Meditations for Women Who Knit Too Much
“I don't know where the characters are going to go or what's going to happen. I know that something inevitable will happen. I know that they want certain things and they're in a certain room and they smell like this and they look like that. More often than not, an entropy creeps in that strangles me, and then the inevitable happens. I don't know if I have the ability to write an ending like My Fair Lady's, when everyone gets what they want after a few minor conflicts. If I tried to write that it would just be false. Or I'd have someone enter with a machine gun.” IfsKnowsWantWritingLooksCharacterHappensCertainAbilityRoomsConflictGunFairsMachinesSmellInevitableMinorsCreepsEntropyMachine GunsMy Fair Lady Author:Adam Rapp

“Life was so much simpler in pre-video days when everyone refused invitations because the 'Forsyte Saga' was on. Now we all just have a long list of unwatched shows, all of which, it seems, our friends are raving about.

“I am asked to submit a 2-3 page synopsis to my publisher ahead of time, so by the time I begin writing, I have a fair idea of where the story will begin, the main conflicts, and the basic ending point. But that still leaves plenty of room for changes and discovery along the way.” WayWritingStillsIdeasStoriesRoomsConflictPagesDiscoveryFairsPlentySubmitPublishersAhead Of TimeSynopsis Author:Julie Klassen
“You do see a few people and you are thinking of how that chemistry is going to work, but it's not really fair to put people who are auditioning together in a room. You have to make that judgement yourself, and that's partly where the casting director is so good. It was that blend that we were looking for.” PeopleThinkingTogetherRoomsDirectorsFairsJudgementChemistryCastingGoing To WorkCasting Directors Author:Adrian Hodges
