Ruminations on Tony’s Tall Tales

The shockingly actionable secret is to show up and do any amount we can no matter how small it appears. These “small” amounts build upon themselves in great fashion to results that inspire and move us. Be kind to yourself. Be gentle to yourself. And trust in the process of showing up and taking the opportunity to work.

Writing a good story, no matter the form, requires that you have these two fundamentals in place. What is this story about? What do my characters want? And that intention needs to be clear as quickly as possible. And then what are the obstacles in the way of what your character(s) want? The obstacle needs to be formable. If you do not have these two keys then you have no conflict and thus no drama. No excitement.
Host Anthony Pavelich reviews these key elements and shares a little more background and some of the struggles he faces while on the path to becoming a true writer and creator.
