“ ...I can't make exceptions for myself. If I can run, I will run. I don't have to feel good to do it. ”
You have to stand out, do something, to be remembered.
~ Patricia Hamill
If you don't know a name, you can't be hurt when they go. I have no friends anymore, all are lost.
No more running, no more half living, starving or fear. You have it better than me now, I think.
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.
