If you have a beautiful story, it has to have conflict. If you don’t have conflict, it can’t be a good story Picture Quote #1

If I can tell someone a story that makes them bend over and laugh, that’s bigger than anything else Picture Quote #1

I think that’s a hallmark of a really good story that it has readers that it speaks to more than others Picture Quote #1

Local television is a slightly different story. It is under much more pressure in the same way that all local businesses are, whether that’s a local newspaper, local radio or local television. But I think television in the aggregate is actually in very good shape Picture Quote #1

If as a child I had written a story, the best story that I could imagine, I would have written as indeed is happening to me Picture Quote #1

There’s a story about how the program is organized, there’s a story about the context in which the program is expected to operate. And one would hope that there will be something about the program, whether it’s block comments at the start of each routine or an overview document that comes separately or just choices of variable names that will somehow convey those stories to you Picture Quote #1

When you look at a person, any person, everyone has a story. Everyone has gone through something that has changed their life. Anxiety, depression and panic attacks are not signs of weakness. They are signs of trying to remain strong for way too long Picture Quote #1

In general, I don’t like game mechanics, I mean it’s the idea you do the same things through different levels. I think, in my mind, it’s an ideas I don’t really like because I love to do different things and like to see the story moving on and I like to do different things and different scenes, not do the same thing over and over again. If it involves violence at some point fine, if it makes sense in the context. But violence for the sake of violence, it doesn’t mean anything to me anymore Picture Quote #1

Fiction seems to be more effective at changing beliefs than nonfiction, which is designed to persuade through argument and evidence. Studies show that when we read nonfiction, we read with our shields up. We are critical and skeptical. But when we are absorbed in a story, we drop our intellectual guard. We are moved emotionally, and this seems to make us rubbery and easy to shape Picture Quote #1

You set up the story, but the characters start talking, and they go places that you didn’t expect. You have to follow Picture Quote #1
