Transcript:
Jason: How's your novel coming along? Roger: So-so. I wasn't sure what to write for chapter one, so I skipped to chapter two. Then I wasn't sure what to write for chapter two, so I moved on to chapter three. Jason: So you wrote that? Roger: No, but I did finally manage to get something down on paper after chapter 57. Jason: "The end" I guess that's a start. Roger: Does it feel, you know, satisfying?

Sounds like a typical Ayn Rand book to me.

Creative Writing classes only teach the “writing” part. You have to come up with the “creative” on your own.

Issac Asimov said his writing process was to get a theme in his head, let it perk for a time (days, weeks,maybe months). Then one day he would wake up and know it was ready. He’d pour it out on paper, front to back, with almost no edits, and send it off.

R.L. Stine always had the ending first, then go from there. He’d plop in red herrings that would still make sense, in hopes that he would surprise readers when it’s revealed what is really going on.

Roger should be at work, not wasting time on something that he clearly isn’t good at.
