“ If you don't know a name, you can't be hurt when they go. I have no friends anymore, all are lost. ”
You have to stand out, do something, to be remembered.
~ Patricia Hamill
No more running, no more half living, starving or fear. You have it better than me now, I think.
...I can't make exceptions for myself. If I can run, I will run. I don't have to feel good to do it.
Don't resist the urge to burn down the stronghold, kill off the main love interest or otherwise foul up the lives of your characters.
