You know, it was Brenda Chin who truly got me thinking this way a long time ago. Whenever I’m writing something that seems a little over the top, I remember her saying that it’s much easier and more preferable to rein a writer in than to try to get her to ramp things up. So I now write like I have nothing to lose.

Great stuff! I think I’m sometimes too cautious… I always do my best work when I just let rip and don’t worry about being too wild.

Easier to tone it down if necessary later than to liven it up. Gotcha.

That is exactly what I needed to hear with this story!
