    In toxic relationships, you're forced to choose between honesty and loyalty. You bite your tongue to protect their ego. In healthy relationships, honesty is an expression of loyalty. You speak your mind to help them grow. When you have real trust and respect, candor shows care.

    The real difference, or nuance, between journalistic reportage and creative writing is that in the former you are accurately and deftly reporting what you see. In the latter, you are literally feeling and giving words to the joy or hurt of your protagonist

    Stories are liked or disliked based on how they make people feel in that moment. The calculation is emotional not statistical or mathematical or financial, to a large part. Emotions are in-built into the design of a story. It’s the most important challenge faced by the writer

    We are quick to surrender the call to reason and logic when panic engulfs the mind. Great folks aren’t always exceptional or contrarian. They just don’t allow the fog of panic to blur their vision
