Background sets the tone, rules, environment, age, etc.
Conflict shows the forces at play and the means they use to play out.
Conflict without background = suspense
Background without conflict = exposition/introduction
Sometimes you want to tell the full story, other times you want to create suspense or introduce people to something that they can use for their own personal battles. Use appropriately.
I believe in helping people in whatever way you can.
In the power of creativity to transform a life, a business and the world.
That if everyone was more generous the world would thrive.
I've been an engineer.
A consultant.
An entrepreneur.
And a salesperson.
I also enjoy art.
Today, I write.
Stemming from my diverse experiences, I have a broad perspective and share it with others on topics from doing work you love to running a small business.
