He thought about the story his daughter was living and the role she was playing inside that story. he realized he hadn't provided a better role for his daughter. he hadn't mapped out a story for his family. and so his daughter had chosen another story, a story in which she was wanted, even if she was only being used. in the absence of a family story, she'd chosen a story in which there was risk and adventure, rebellion and independence.

If the point of life is the same as the point of a story, the point of life is character transformation. if i got any comfort as i set out on my first story, it was that in nearly every story, the protagonist is transformed. he's a jerk at the beginning and nice at the end, or a coward at the beginning and brave at the end. if the character doesn't change, the story hasn't happened yet. and if story is derived from real life, if story is just condensed version of life then life itself may be designed to change us so that we evolve from one kind of person to another.

Character Writing Important
Vera said: 'why do you feel you have to turn everything into a story?' so i told her why: because if i tell the story, i control the version. because if i tell the story, i can make you laugh, and i would rather have you laugh at me than feel sorry for me. because if i tell the story, it doesn't hurt as much. because if i tell the story, i can get on with it.

Hurt Character Thinking
Animals used to provide a lowlife way to kill and get away with it, as they do still, but, more intriguingly, for some people they are an aperture through which wounds drain. the scapegoat of olden times, driven off for the bystanders sins, has become a tender thing, a running injury. there, running away is me: hurt it and you are hurting me.

I shall do less whenever i shall believe what i am doing hurts the cause and i shall do more whenever i shall believe doing more will help the cause. i shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors and i shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
