"The single story creates stereotypes...but they are incomplete. They make one story become the only story ...reject the single-story ...there is never a single story about any place [or people].” (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | TEDGlobal 2009) https://t.co/Wx2IiLKPx3 via @TEDTalks

"...lo menos que podían hacer quienes deliberan en torno al asunto del control de la natalidad, es qué opinan de él las madres."

● What’s the weirdest thing in my story?
● How can I make sure the weirdest thing doesn’t confuse or alienate?
● If there are multiple weird things, should get rid of, or coalesce,
some of them?
● If there is nothing weird in my story, is the story still interesting?
Having weird things in your story can capture interest and it can make your
world seem special. Too many things that are too weird, though, will render
your story puzzling and inaccessible.
The Lens of the Obstacle
A goal with no obstacles is not worth pursuing.
● What is the relationship between the main character and the goal? Why
does the character care about it?
● What are the obstacles between the character and the goal?
● Is there an antagonist who is behind the obstacles? What is the relationship
between the protagonist and the antagonist?
● Do the obstacles gradually increase in difficulty?
● Can they be bigger?
