The power of time has a great impact on all our lives and it should be no different to our characters. One of the worst ways one can degrade a story, is to put too much in too short of a time frame. Their needs to be space for growth and recovery, and that's only something the element of time can give. It's therefore incredibly important to consider how one goes about tackling the time span their story covers.

Writers are asked to promote their work in this day and age. It's just become the norm to have to meet that requirement, even though, no one has probably stopped to think how ridiculous that is considering the different calibre one must be to have to fulfil those two roles.

Anyhow, one thing that doesn't get enough attention is for us creators to think about whether what we create is designed to be marketed and consumed by the masses or, if perhaps, it's just something that is just meant to be for us - the creator.
