After All, You Put A Lot Into

I Want To Kick-start Your Imagination And Let You Discover The Places It Can Take You.

Lester Del Rey Told Me Repeatedly That The First And Most Important Part Of Writing Fiction Is Just To Think About The Story. Don't Write Anything Down. Don't Try To Pull Anything Together Right Away. Just Dream For A While And See What Happens. There Isn't Any Timetable Involved, No Measuring Stick For How Long It Ought To Take. For Each Book, It Is Different. But That Period Of Thinking, Of Reflection, Is Crucial To How Successful Your Story Will Turn Out To Be.

The More Complex And Overwhelming The Threat To A Protagonist, The Better The Opportunity For The Author To Create A Compelling Conflict And A Dramatic Resolution.

What You Write Chooses You.

Fiction Writers Are Strange Beasts. They Are, Like All Writers, Observers First And Foremost. Everything That Happens To And Around Them Is Potential Material For A Story, And They Look At It That Way.
