Six Tenets of a Great Story

hand-journal-notebook-34072
By Negative Space

By Anton Chekhov:

  1. Absence of lengthy verbiage of a political-social-economic nature
  2. Total objectivity
  3. Truthful descriptions of persons and objects
  4. Extreme brevity
  5. Audacity and originality: flee the stereotype
  6. Compassion

My Love For You

“A passion, like the torrent in the violence of its course, might perhaps too, like the torrent, leave ruin and desolation behind… My love for you… is deep and calm, more like the quiet river, which refreshes and beautifies where it flows.”

– Jane Welsh Carlyle, I, Too, Am Here: Sections from the letters of Jane Welsh Carlyle
