There’s way too much

There’s way too much pain in this business for anyone who doesn’t HAVE to write.
R. A. Salvatore

I loved the world

I loved the world of imagination.
R. A. Salvatore

emotion clouds the rational, and many perspectives guide the full reality. To view current events as a historian is to account for all perspectives, even those of your enemy. It is to know the past and to use such relevant history as a template for expectations. It is, most of all, to force reason ahead of instinct, to refuse to demonize that which you hate, and to, most of all, accept your own fallibility.

In the past, TSR

In the past, TSR and now Wizards of the Coast have asked me to do game stats for my characters, and I’m never comfortable doing that. It’s all relative after all.

I’m trying to make

I’m trying to make all the characters change and grow, or regress.
R. A. Salvatore

I’m a working-class kid

I’m a working-class kid from a blue-collar New England family.

There is a difference

There is a difference between finding trouble in your path and going out of your way searching for it.” -Jacen Solo
R. A. Salvatore

There is no pain

There is no pain greater than this; not the cut of a jagged-edged dagger nor the fire of a dragon’s breath. Nothing burns in your heart like the emptiness of losing something, someone, before you truly have learned of its value.
R. A. Salvatore

Farewell, my friend

Farewell, my friend,” Drizzt whispered, trying futilely to keep his voice from breaking. :This journey you make alone.
R. A. Salvatore

Do we behave out

Do we behave out of fear of punishment, or out of the demands of our heart? For me, it is the latter, as I would hope is true for all adults, thought I know from bitter experience that such is not often the case. To act in a manner designed to catapult you into heaven would seem transparent to a god, any god,for if ones heart is not in allignment with the creator of that heaven, then… what is the point?
