  • [[Steven Pressfield]]'s guide to [[writing]]: collapsed:: true
      1. Every [[work]] must be about one thing.
      2. It must have something different about it that catches people's [[attention]] immediately, like in one minute.
      3. Every work must start which something that pushes it along. This must point to the highest part of the story.
      4. It should follow the parts of the [[story]] where things are laid out, put against each other, and brought together through the fight.
      5. Every [[person]] stands for something that is in [[everyone]].
      6. The person of the story must be the [[body]] that is the one thing the work is about.
      7. Anyone [[against]] that person also stands for what is against the one thing the work is about.
      8. The [[fight]] is about the one thing the work is about.
      9. The highest part of the [[story]] settles the one thing.

      • No isolated [[event]], these are [[repeated]] and [[continuous]] [[flows]].
    • Whose [[need]]? When? In what [[place]] and [[time]] is it needed? What other [[feelings]] come with that need? What will help get them past what's [[blocking]] them to where they are going? [[Why]] are they doing what they're doing?
        1. What [[progress]] do they [[want]] to achieve?
        2. What's the [[context]] of their climb?
        • who, while doing what, when, where

Look for words that indicate a framing of [[timing]]- "every day", "once every two weeks", "because of that I did this", etc.

The difference between what each [[eye]] sees lets us perceive [[depth]].
