Though this is not a political blog, I have to admit–a couple extra tissues bit the dust during yesterday’s celebration. It struck me how much more important the emotions and feelings are as opposed to the cold, hard facts.
    This, like most everything else, is a lesson for writers. People read stories to feel things. Emotions bring us into the heart of the matter. Self-sacrifice is the most powerful motive you can give your character.
    As you write today (and you are writing today, no?) see if you can show us how those characters feel.
    A new day has dawned in the U.S., definitely time to WRITE AT ABSOULUTE TOP SPEED.
