There is an adage: Only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. I know many people feel like we are entering a dark time. For the benefit of us all, I hope that is not the case. But, America, if it is: Let us fill the sky with the light of a billion brilliant stars.

now this is great writing advice given in 1 min 15 seconds. I wish I could have shown this in my picture book plot lecture last week. Writers, pay attention! This is everything. xitter.cf/historyinmemes/status/…
