I had a mad insight into the universe today — okay, actually just a mad insight as to why this scene in the Wild Card movie wasn’t working.

I had three people in the scene, and it was just hobbling along.  Once I dropped one character the scene just came to life.  I could up the tension, the sense of things happening just below the surface.

This is why I never get tired of writing.  Everyday there is some new problem to solve and that gets solved in a relatively unique way.  Maybe there’s that same sense of eureka in law, but I never experienced it.

I definitely made the right choice when I quit being a lawyer.
