An interesting idea can produce a compelling beginning, but sustaining a story requires something more: characters whose choices create consequences, escalation, and the next meaningful thing.

A reflection on how fragments become stories, why some ideas grow while others collapse, and the questions, choices, and consequences that make an idea worth following.

A reflection on storytelling, faith, imagination, the persistence of unfinished stories, and why I have finally decided to give writing the place it has been demanding.
