- "L'homme n'est rien, l'oeuvre tout". C'est là que vous voulez en venir ?
- Oui. C'est de Flaubert, n'est-ce pas ?
- Oui.
- Et nous nous le rappelons encore.
Bram rit de nouveau amèrement.
- Mes histoires, dit Arthur. La science de la déduction. Le détective qui raisonne. La solution livrée fort à propos dans un dénouement satisfaisant. Tout ça, c'est des conneries.
Bram sourit.
- Je sais, dit-il. C'est pour cela que nous en avons besoin.

Writing fiction feels like an adventurous act, nudging aside reality a word at a time.

By all the rules of modern fiction there should have been gunsmoke mingling its acrid blue with the brown haze of corral dust. Dead men should have fallen and been trampled...

Action is the pulse of any good story, but the character is the heart. If the action has no consequence to the character, the story loses heart.

A related question is where in time to begin. Should you begin far back in a character's past and move forward, or should you begin in the present and make use of flashbacks only where necessary? ...

In other words, is the material with which you open the story an arrow pointing toward the unified effect?

All writers struggle at some point with the problem of balance between authority and involvement, seduction and revelation. Specifically, beginning writers wonder how much description to employ, and more advanced writers ask how much plot is too much or too little. And there is no better place to find answers than in the Victoria's Secret catalogue--or in any ad for lingerie--where the arts of seduction and revelation are so successfully practiced. After all, the secret of the effective lingerie ad is the secret of effective storytelling--to provide, moment by moment, the illusion of imminent expose, to give the viewer (read: reader) the uncanny sense that something fundamentally compelling is always just about to be revealed. Lingerie ads and storytelling balance the veiled and the unveiled, the seen and the unseen, the shown and the about-to-be-shown. In short, it is the art of the tease, the craft of selective 'coverage,' that, not just in lingerie but in storytelling, works to enthrall.
