We, and I think I'm speaking for many writers, don't know what it is that sometimes comes to make our books alive. All we can do is write dutifully and day after day, every day, giving our work the very best of what we are capable. I don't that we can consciously put the magic in; it doesn't work that way. When the magic comes, it's a gift.
Madeleine L'Engle

When the bright angel dominates, out comes a great work of art, a Michelangelo David or a Beethoven symphony.
