I’m currently reading Dracula by Bram Stoker and am in awe at how well it has been planned out and all the hints and events that lead to something important in the story. Everytime I read something I am in disbelief in how intelligent one would have to be to write and publish a book. How do they find the passion, determination, and skill to do such a thing? Are they just gifted? Did they have to study and practice for years before executing it? I dont understand how someone who is human like me could have such an otherworldly ability to connect to others through words.
Good Summary! Some creative writing advice, and a lot of scriptwriting advice, gets really hung up on structure and pacing formula. Which is fine, until you see someone else break all the rules and get away with it by making something interesting and different. (Which not everybody likes, of course).
