ursulav strikes again

To go at it another way, there are books that are intensely plot driven. They know who they are, and may be excused to go sit in the hall and pray for our souls. Most of the books that I enjoy, however, and certainly the ones that I write, are basically an excuse to hang out with the characters, and occasionally in that world. The plot is important, but the book is a great deal more than the plot.

Among a lot of other wisdom on the writing process.

Sigh.

Via jaylake. I don't know if he's a leftie or not.
