Great advice from Scott Meyer

I'm a big fan of BASIC INSTRUCTIONS, the online comic by Scott Meyer. I'm a subscriber (you should be, too) and I have a dozen or so of his comics hanging up in my office. This one should be shared with every person you know who's writing a mystery.

Quotes by Charles Benoit (?)

“There's always a but. It's a magical word. You can say anything you want, go on for as long as you want, and then all you have to do is add the magic word and instantly everything you said is erased, turned meaningless, just like that.”
― Charles Benoit, You

“The teachers complain that the students today are all lazy, ignorant, and stupid. But the truth is that you're smarter than they are. You're not even old enough to drive and you already know that none of this matters.”
― Charles Benoit, You

“When did swearing become so easy? You still would never swear in front of your parents or most adults, but when you're with your friends it's like every fifth word. Why couldn't learning Spanish be that easy?”
