mimzy-writing-online:messier51:some really good @clpolk [tweets] about narrative trust [Image Description: screenshot from Twitter, it says, “You know what though. I think I have learned a lot about ending stories today. You have to pick up all the threads you spun out in the story, all the things the reader is asking about, then you have to give them a resolution that answers those things. And the answer can’t cheat. You can’t cheat the story. You can’t cheat the reader. You can surprise them, but you can’t betray them. They gave you their time, their emotional resonance, their trust. And that one? You can’t ever, ever betray that one. That’s the one that makes them walk away.” End Image Description] -- source link
