Dreams are easy. Too formless to have faults. They are pretty, perfect and satisfying to consider. The work comes in daring to make them real.

The results have no guarantee of success. You can pour your heart and soul into the work only to come up short. For the audience to look at what you made and turn up their nose.

You need to ask yourself if the dream you have is worth the daring. Is it worth the chance and the choice? Will you Suit Up?

Laugh. Lunge. Suit Up! #suitupphilosophy

What makes a swashbuckler? It's one of those conversations which gets into semantics and specifics. However, the purer you try to define it, the less meaning you gain from the idea.

Swashbuckling is an attitude. One which is seen from characters like Robin Hood, Zorro, or Indiana Jones. They are from different places, different times, and different goals, but each exhibit what it means to swashbuckle.

Laughing in the face of danger. Choosing to defy the odds. Lunging into the thick of things because it's the right thing to do.

As much as any fencing style, it's all about your stance. It's about how you approach the world and conflicts around you.

Don't quibble about exacting definitions. Get out there and Suit Up!

The journey is calling. Will you pick up?

It's almost a cliche of writing to say there's a call to adventure. Casually, it sounds simple. Ask and answer. Adventure is rarely so kind.

Adventure doesn't ask, it demands. It pulls you from the safety of your known world and hurls you into a journey from which you cannot escape unharmed or unchanged.

The choice to embrace the change it offers is yours. Your attitude defines what the journey looks like. In large part, it also determines who you will be at the destination.

Will you Suit Up?

Give characters a mountain. A goal of imposing breadth and magnitude to loom over the course of the story. This ambition gives readers and characters a direction.

The way characters choose to respond tells you about them. Are they excited or avoidant? The mountain remains.

By desire or dire necessity, at the base of the mountain the character is forced to climb.

The climb takes effort. Pushing the character to their limits. Testing their resolve and ability. It has to be hard enough to matter. Too easy and we aren't invested in the effort.

Summiting the peak takes everything they have. Challenging them to new heights. When they reach the top, they are forever changed by their experience. Which leads to the most important question in a story: What's next?

Suit Up!
