I’ve convinced myself I’ve opened Pandora’s Box with Diamond Crier.  I’ve given myself all the room in the world to work with this story.  Personally, I prefer confines.  It gives me set walls in which to work.  Without them the inundation of ideas can be overwhelming and counterproductive to my writing since the influx keeps [...]
