8th July 2016 | for Creatives | characters, writing, Chuck Wendig |
"Character matters more than anything else."
"You're aiming for satisfaction for the audience, not happiness for the characters. They may coincide. They may not."
"The term 'writer' is almost a misnomer. A carpenter must have a bevy of skills, and cannot succeed on a single one of them. You don't call a carpenter a 'sawman,' or a 'nailer,' or a 'screwdriver jockey.' A writer must do more than merely write."
"The truth remains: writers write, but they must be prepared to do so much more."
"Most authors are [saying something big with their books]. Not all of them. But most. And I'd encourage you to be one of the ones who is."
"An author should never be afraid to let an ending offer new questions heaped upon the answers of the old."
