“A book's flaws make it less predictable.” — Janet Fitch Quote

“A book's flaws make it less predictable.”

“Use description of landscape to help you establish the emotional tone of the scene. Keep notes of how other authors establish mood and foreshadow events by describing the world around the character.”

“Your protagonist is your reader's portal into the story. The more observant he or she can be, the more vivid will be the world you're creating. They don't have to be super-educated, they just have to be mentally active. Keep them looking, thinking, wondering, remembering.”

“I never want anything to be too predictable.”

“Life itself is so surprising, a predictable story is unsatisfying.”

“He's about as predictable as a Wasp on speed.”
