The hardest thing about being a writer...

Having all the balls up in the air and having to think about the end while you’re still writing the beginning. Because if you don’t do it now, you’re going to have fifty plot holes and fail to set up and foreshadow what’s going to happen.

So, the other day my brother and I were watching Captain America: The Winter Soldier while my mom sat nearby reading. We got into a huge discussion about Bucky and how tragic his story is and how amazing the writers were to think of it, etc. Etc. Etc. From the seat nearby, at the height of our discussion, our mother suddenly asked us: “Who the heck is Bucky?”
