The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
It's always too early to quit.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
You never know what motivates you.
Well done is better than well said.
Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
To me, it all comes down to things being character-driven. It's hard for me to look beyond that. CG and all this cool stuff - so be it. But to me, it pretty much begins and ends with character-driven plots rather than technologically-driven plots.
