A Day in the Life of a Writer: What Makes a Good Story?
A beginning, a middle, and an end.
Yeah, thanks.
Knew that, right?
Check out this TED talk from Karen Thompson Walker, and consider using your own fears to write well-developed stories. Those fears ARE stories, after all, complete with characters and horrible things happening and an aftermath. Don’t we create stories all the time?
Pema Chödrön states, “Fear is a natural reaction to moving closer to the truth.” Of course we must use our fears…. That’s where the truth is.
