Stories Are Never Told About Days That Don’t Matter

The risk of it is also the courage that allows it to happen.

Raise the stakes.
What will happen if I don’t get what I want?

The writer has put your character in a corner.

It’s now or never.
The scene must happen now.
It cannot wait another day.
It cannot wait another hour.
It has to happen now.

When you pick up your sides, ask yourself: Why now?
What is the now or never for your character?

What corner am I in?
How do I get out?

This is my last chance.
She’s my only hope.
It’s too late.

Ask why now to uncover the truth of the moment.
