CAUSAL
No matter how much someone annoyingly comes out about universe’s logic being totally random ( me); we need a superior almighty being or consciousness or fate orchestrating life’s events to feel everything is alright and purposeful. We need this order of logical situations happening because of this and this reason for us to feel things are properly moving on. Otherwise we’re only zombie drones.
Still lost? Picture a small snowball. Now picture a hill. Make the snowball to roll down. It becomes bigger and bigger to every roll. It seemingly has been going down collecting unrelated events ( more snow particles, enough depth, there’s no gigantic rock on its way) with an initial cause (the small snowball falling down) and zero casualty.
LEFT BEHIND CRUMBS
That’s why, if you haven’t read Harry Potter [highly improbable] I will recommend it. J. K. Rowling is easy to decode for even someone as clueless as me after re reading a few times. So let’s concentrate in her montage rather than in what she X’s (twits ^v^). That is already discussed in some other blog.
Does Potter need to meet the one who broke the Fidelio enchantment? Let’s have a rat and a cat. Who’s to suspect of a cat trying to catch mice? Did you ever think the rat was a rat? One who kidnaps, betrays and seeks power. That kind of rat. No, you didn’t. If you had you might have followed the left behind crumbs and figured it out from the beginning.The same kind of crumbs Agatha Christie left behind for us to solve the mystery.
This is why a story is not a story unless something happens to someone in a way that looks casual but is totally causal.
It is like taking out cents from the register without the owner realizing. Time to keep writing and remind you I had already mentioned this idea in some Ronald B Tobias’ quote (20 master plots):
«Good writing appears to be casual but in truth is causal.»
And as casual as I’d like to look like, the truth is that that’s all. HAVE A NICE DAY. Pasto kalo.
