The day a character becomes predictable is the day a writer should think about moving on - because the reader certainly will.

When you think of a great twist or a red herring or a way of misdirecting the reader, it is good, but you know that they are just tricks at the end of the day, and the way to keep interest is to write characters that people care about.

You can't look back - you just have to put the past behind you, and find something better in your future.

It happens to everyone as they grow up. You find out who you are and what you want, and then you realize that people you've known forever don't see things the way you do. So you keep the wonderful memories, but find yourself moving on.

You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation; trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move the fuck on.

No matter how much we try to ignore the past,if we just don't deal with it and move on it will always come back and hunt us. I say so.
