Kindle Notes & Highlights
Slowly, I became aware that the flow of energy I feel in healing also moves in my writing. It penetrates the stories I analyze and the lives of the writers with whom I work; it embraces the lives of those I love, and it permeates all nature.
Interesting! I think all writers do this to varying degrees. I plan to try and "get into the zone." I feel this would take a lot of practice, probably worth while. I guess the closest I know I came to this is when I did some steam of conscious writing. But it was more just to try it and gave me nothing useable.
Don’t tell a character’s backstory until the readers have had a chance to know him.
Just like don't kill a character until the reader knows them so they are more invested.
When a character appears in a scene at the beginning of the story, give the reader only enough about the character to inform that particular scene. Hold back any information that is not essential.
Good advice.
Halfway Point The halfway point in the Universal Story represents the next major turning point.
yes!
