I cannot remember my high school sophomore English teacher's name and it is really bugging me. Getting old sucks.
Update: Found it through some clever googling.

Tim Ferriss with Brandon Sanderson
Really enjoying this interview and the insights Brandon shares here. Around the 57 minute mark he is discussing how he approaches writing and figuring characters out, and he talks about writing 300k words of a novel and then deciding the personality of a character was wrong in it.
I feel this as I'm working on a rewrite of a novel I wrote (granted it's 100k-ish in words in the original form) and I'm starting from scratch porting over characters and some plot, but in writing that first version I wasn't thrilled with it. I kept thinking, "this feels like half a story" and as it turns out - it is. Now, I don't think the next version will be twice as long, but I really learned a lot about the story by writing it out. So now I am going at it again.

Tonight's random learning, "Get the hell out of Dodge" is a quote which was popularized on the old Western show 'Gunsmoke.' I always wondered where it came from.
