Come up with a simple plot and fill it with complex characters.

You should be able to describe your plot in one sentence.

Everything else that happens should result from your characters' decisions.

#Glastonbury took place over the weekend. There were so many good bands. (Most are posted on YouTube.) But Gary Numan (who sang the hit song “Cars” in 1979) tore it up. Here he is singing “My Name Is Ruin” with his daughter, Persia. 😎

Today, in 1978, The Cars released their self-titled debut album, which included six classics (Moving in Stereo, Good Times Roll, Just What I Needed, Bye Bye Love, My Best Friend's Girl, You're All I've Got Tonight). It still sounds great.😊

"In #journalism, just one fact that is false prejudices the entire work. In #fiction, one single fact that is true gives legitimacy to the entire work. That’s the only difference. A #novelist can do anything he wants so long as he makes people believe in it."

#StanleyKubrick's coming of age as a photojournalist: Prizefighter. #Published in Look Magazine in January 1949, the story depicted scenes from the life of Bronx-born boxer, Walter Cartier. The images would also serve as the basis of #StanleyKubrick's first #film, Day of the Fight.

In a world full of nonsense, fatted calves and gilded imbeciles, I will continue to write about monsters, witches, vampires, ghosts, demons and supernatural creatures. Research is a savior. I don't ascribe to false gods and prophets and smoke. I create demons with real names. I am a monster maker.🖤

If a scene isn't coming together, keep this tip in mind.

The beginning of the scene should frame what the whole scene is about.

The scene should then funnel down to a single point, with the most important line of dialogue stated last.
