Can you watch this?

Unfortunately, YouTube has an unfathomable censorship system that means that this Video cannot be viewed in the UK. Sorry!

Thoughts are things

Good advice

I came across the comment below and I think it's the nearest I've come to what writing is all about. I love writing, especially novels and poems. I write for myself but also because I've nothing else much to leave behind. I want to write books and poems for my grandson, even if they never want to read them. The heritage thing also applies to some, but not all of my paintings. Anything you create with love and passion is something to leave behind - evidence of energy and imagination that live on!

Here's what Steven James writes in his "Story Trumps Structure" (nothing to do with the US president! trumps = triumphs over):

"To uncover the plot of your story, don't ask what should happen, but what could go wrong. To uncover the meaning of your story, don't ask what the theme is, but rather, what is discovered. Characters making choices to resolve tension - that's your plot, If your protagonist has no goal, makes no choices, has no struggle, you have no plot."

Comment: I find that this quote applies to life, really, but definitely to the fictional world writers create.
