Quote from Public Figure.


Mechanical authors have solutions to each of their problems before they even know what their problems are. That’s the problem. They’ve got the plot laid out; the highs, lows, and pauses. Stories don’t work that way, though. Stories involve persons and their obstacles. […] There are many ways to tell a story. Instead Mechanics fill in the blanks with other people’s answers, using formulas that have proven successful, and which will be perpetuated until they prove to be unsuccessful.
