I tried to make a simple story the other day, with simple language and a simple plot: It’s about a girl who lives in a castle. She was born with a birthmark that makes people fear her because (as the story goes) people with… Continue Reading “A simple story”

I listened to a podcast the other day and Neil Gaiman was the guest. Lucky me! One of the thing that stuck out to me was his fondness for fountain pens. According to Neil, the reason sentences were so long, back in the day,… Continue Reading “Neil Gaiman said a thing”

I’ve talked about this before, but I really need to beat it into my brain so I don’t make the same mistakes again: I cannot separate plot from character, character is plot and they decide what happens. Granted, it’s good to have a general… Continue Reading “When the story becomes dull”
