Quote of the Day

What If You Looked at Your Stories as Classified Information?

March 10, 2019/ JW

What if you looked at your stories as classified information? That means you only go into your characters’ minds on a need-to-know basis. If they absolutely need to think or feel something, you can let them do it; otherwise, let them alone. Don’t make a damn fool of yourself if you don’t need to.
