“When writing a novel that’s pretty much entirely what life turns into: ‘House burned down. Car stolen. Cat exploded. Did 1500 easy words, so all in all it was a pretty good day.’”
- Neil Gaiman
This quote resonates with me simply because of how true it is. In 2004 I watched my home for ten years go up in flames. The only thing I could think of was of my novel, half written on a computer that shared a wall with the burning garage. Fortunately things turned out as well as they possibly could have and I finished that novel.
