You begin with action that is compelling enough to draw [the reader] in, make us want to know more. Background is where you ... see and know who these people are, how they've come to be together, what was going on before the opening of the story. Then you develop these people, so that we learn what they care most about. The plot – the drama, the actions, the tension – will grow out of that. You move them along until everything comes together in the climax, after which things are different for the main characters, different in some real way. And then there is the ending: what is our sense of who these people are now, what are they left with, what happened, and what did it mean?"]]> 2019-06-12 07:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/ueoc3i3wkd3q/wish/367108602 “The need to write comes from the need to make sense of one's life and discover one's usefulness.” ― John Cheever chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/ueoc3i3wkd3q/wish/367108605 2019-06-12 07:11:37 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/ueoc3i3wkd3q/wish/367108605 Isaac Bashevis Singer chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/ueoc3i3wkd3q/wish/367113935 2019-06-12 07:43:49 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/ueoc3i3wkd3q/wish/367113935 John Cheever chrisy_dennis https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/ueoc3i3wkd3q/wish/367115937 'The Country Husband']]> 2019-06-12 07:54:05 UTC https://padlet.com/chrisy_dennis/ueoc3i3wkd3q/wish/367115937 The Key?
