"If you don't understand that
story is character
and not just idea,
you will not be able to
breathe life into
even the most intriguing flash of inspiration.
This is because events--both in real life and in fiction--
take on greater meaning once we
know the people
who are involved in them."
This quote is speaking to me. Thanks for sharing, Lydia.
ReplyDeleteThis makes perfect sense and it is the exact reason why I want to know my characters inside out before I write their story.
ReplyDeleteI love this quote, and I adore Elizabeth George!
