You know that moment
when you realize you’re in love? For some, it comes in a flash, just after you’ve
seen/met the person. Others take years to figure it out. In either case, it’s a
shocking and nerve-racking experience. It’s like your whole world has suddenly
changed, and you can’t go back.

When a Man Loves a Book: Character Vs. Plot

Life Is NOT Random Because...
OK, I know it’s odd to post a philosophical conundrum right after the American Idol rant, but that’s just how my mind works. This post is bit of brain-candy in the morning. So I’ll begin with the words that usually lead me places I did not expect to go on page, but am happy to end up there nevertheless. Of course, I’d be surprised if anyone dared go beyond this sentence.
So I was thinking… You know how there are always two camps: supporters of determinism and supporters of free will. Also, there are those who think life’s random (Chaos) and those who think it’s predetermined (Fatalism).
I like to think that it’s both, in both cases. In fantasy, when I am building a world of magic, for example, I always consider this in the design. In my first book, I have incorporated my own interpretation of the world, and even though I don’t usually say ‘This is how I see the world’, you can maybe read it between the lines.
