   Great advice! You are helping me get over my horrible habit of describing every little thing about a character when they first enter.

   Great tips for young writers, Patrick. Thanks for taking the time to create these. The music sounded inspired by Jerry Goldsmith’s score to MEDICINE MAN. Was it? Regardless, it’s a wonderful soundtrack — as are all by Goldsmith — to write to.
