#PantsNaNoWriMo day 21: In the trenches thoughts on being a pantser/gardener - and a reminder that dramatic beats and story structure are mileposts only, and not formula. A lot of story-structure advice comes from analyzing what someone else did intuitively.

I delve deeply today into what "failure" means - and also "success" - and why I feel we shouldn't regard failing with fear or dread. Also deciding when to reveal a secret to the reader, as opposed to when I know it, or when the characters know it. 

The correct quote I paraphrased is: "Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal." Earl Nightingale

We're back with the (much quieter!) commute to Writer Coffee. Musings along the way on writing as far as the headlights illuminate, how the mass mind works, and controlling what you can in the publishing business.
