"Parents shouldn't assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly. Kids don't. We do."

For me, the game would be to assume a very intelligent reader who can extrapolate a lot from a little. And that's become my definition of art; to get that pitch just right, where I can put a hint on page three, and the reader's ears go up a bit, as opposed to dropping it all on the first page.
