Thought for writers

#1

Make 'em laugh, make 'em cry, make 'um wait. Contradiction btn narrative drive & story suspense builds tension & explodes emotion

#2

The longer the narrative drive is suspended, the greater the tension. The greater the tension, the greater the emotion as the turning point turns.

#3

The key dimension of a complex character: Inner conflict of living in what is vs. denial of what is, truth vs. self- deception, reality vs. ir-reality.
