Screenwriting Fundamentals (by Blake Snyder, now left in low fire, notes by me) p4
We’re in three. The innocent snowball from the beginning must fall on is at a speed we can't or not want to help watching. EVEN IF WE KNOW WHAT'S COMING ON. There are opening images, there have to be ending images. Hence fore the ruling idea has been fulfilled and that has to be shown. Or we have to show that it has been fulfilled with a twist.

Screenwriting Fundamentals (by Blake Snyder, now with salty notes by me) p3
Our character is enjoying or disenjoying life the way we humans do. And since life is something as riding a plane... It is kinda safe but there's always the perk of fail and crash thus our job, as writers, is to push our character and get them off their life plane without a parachute. It is time for the character to do or to do. Snyder affrms this has to happen in page 25. And in page 25 only.

How comes everybody writes interesting personal plots?
There are some endearing hominid animals. They like thinking they're specialThey begin their mornings trying to convince themselves, TODAY is the day. Today, something GREAT is bound to happen. We look back at the past, and assign value to memories to explain why and where we stand. We use any memorable happening to make sense and and give meaning to our being.

Light your writing fire with anger
Raw feelings are the best possible fuel. What are you feeling? A major belly crush down? Your jaws go cemented together? Are you spewing and spitting bad words left and right (perhaps only in your brain cause you're a proper decent citizen)? Do you feel like using someone's head to mop the floor?

Why never trash any ideas for writing!
Patricia Highsmith wrote that some ideas aren't worth a long piece but they can entertain you through ten pages length — perhaps a blog entry a little shorter but cuter than many (wink).

Storytelling to have them wrapped around your finger p3
Nuval Yoah Harari says the most difficult thing of life is to reckon life has been in vain. Legs and sight lost to war in vain. Time wasted to gain a new car in vain. So the plot. We need purpose. A meaning. For sure what's to come has to be better. And Mark Mason talks of the same stuff. We know hope because we can't live without it. Within that without, is that we can sell things.
