Literature is the question minus the answer (Ronald Barthes)

[barush]

Okay, so seeing as my net just won't behave, I have no other option but to write. Which is not that bad actually, as the deadline for the LP fic exchange is getting closer and I have virtually nothing. Well, almost.

The next part of the fic I wanna write requires dialogue, which I really suck at. I'll have to do it somehow though. But why I'm saying that, I've been going through my book of quotes (The Wit & Wisdom of Great Writers) and found this awesome one:

'I'm not too keen on characters taking over, they do as they are damn well told.'  Ian Banks

Well, I'd need an attitude like that right now=)

And this one really amused me:

'I am a drinker with a writing problem.' Brendan Behan

There are exactly 1359 qutes in that book so I might post some more in the future=)

Lmao I guess I understand her to some extent. Then again, I think good writers should be able to control their characters, hm.

Yeah...not to mention she's got a horrible grasp on the English language. Jesus she puts in ten commas a sentence for no reason.

I have no clue who are you talking about but I guess I don't even wanna know=) In Czech commas are a really big issue so I'm glad I can mostly get rid of them in English lol
