Do you have an original source for his observation? I'd like to provide that as well. I'm looking forward to your future thoughts on the subject, and will also be searching for more quotations for my database. Hope you find them helpful.
Loved the plot twist and prompts page. I got so many ideas, mostly for possible short stories but since I am not trying to write short hopefully will be able to work into my novels. Thank you. Got way more than 25 ideas.

Hi Mardy. I believe it's from the foreword of his first novel, Killing Floor. If visit https://pulppipepoetry.substack.com/p/ink-and-grit-masters-of-pulp-fiction that's where I got it.

Lee Child, in the 2012 Introduction to his first Jack Reacher novel, Killing Floor (1997)

Be careful of falling into critical mind writing. Better to read over those, then forget them, and let your creative subconscious do the writing.
Good idea! I already filed them away in a folder for ideas which I will probably will never look at. 😆
