       | Programming may be related to one half of fiction writing - the
       | structural and logical facets. There is a whole other half of
       | emotional authenticity and character building that make it far
       | broader and more difficult than programming.

       | The thing is in programming there is no such "Mom" whose approval
       | will validate the program. It will either run and do it's job or
       | not. Whereas in writing, you will at least always have your
       | mother in the audience that will say "Sure sweety That's a novel"

         | Programming is just writing... No difference whatsoever...
