Another Roland epigraph.

"Be ever vigilant, warrior,
When confronting
The snarling wolf partially hidden
In the deep recesses of your mind."-

Good writing (of any genre) should paint complex ideas as a vivid portrait in words. So vivid in nature it activates all senses of a reader's psyche.

In truth, good writing becomes a narcotic a reader cannot put down.

Be cool in times of crisis. Like Bugs Bunny.
