"There must be a thousand thousand ways to rewrite a story; probably as many ways as there are stories. It's so unlike a science; so messy, unpredictable, unclassifiable.
You have to love it for that.
(Didn't mean to suggest all scientists work in black or white. Seems the best scientists, the best anybodies are interested in the grays.)"

"You can write ten drafts before you find your story. Then you realize you have the wrong character in the right story so you write another five drafts to find the right character.
I always have the wrong character."
