This is mostly because the quotes of the week are so interesting and they always intrigue me. So why not talk about it? Okay... the quote of the week for this week is: "The difference between writers and wannabes is that writers write and wannabes talk about it. Wannabes start hundreds of stories, writers finish them."—J. Michael Straczynski So! Are you a writer or a wannabe?

I'm a major wannabe. *sighs* The thing about starting jillions of stories and never finishing them totally applies to me.

I guess since I haven't finished anything really, so I'm a wannabe. YAY!!!

But I'm sixteen. I can be as wannabe as I like.

"What we want is a story that starts with an earthquake and builds to a climax."

New quote--new thoughts from everyone, I suppose?

I wonder if a story starting with an earthquake my be difficult to draw into a climax matching its start.
