Movie truths

If there is one thing that writing teaches you, and that is “writing” in the sense of “writing” a good book, short story, or what not, is that it teaches you to lie. This previous assertion, I must now agree with, as when weaving an interesting and enthralling tale, one must certainly be believable - even its just a believable in terms of being constrained to that particular universe's set of laws and rules. After all, one cannot possibly capture and keep the reader if they are saying, "Now that just doesn't make sense!" every few lines - or even every chapter or so. And as such, to be a good writer, one must invariably build up the same skills needed to be a good liar.
