Down and down we go unto the sea, unto the dust, the single cellular dust. What impulse drove one cell to become two? What yearning pulled the fish on to the land? What caused apes to walk upright? Some invisible magnetic pull. Is there a difference between attraction and intention? Where is evolution taking us?

At the beginning of a novel, a writer needs confidence, but after that what's required is persistence. These traits sound similar. They aren't.
