Tip-Top Writing Tips

If there's a prevailing mood or theme you want to portray, every single character should either contribute to that mood/theme or be affected by the prevailing mood.

The setting should allow the main idea to develop, acting as a catalyst. The plot should convey the main idea as something tangible coming to pass with its effects on the characters (and setting. The characters should humanize the main idea by illustrating what effects it has on relatable characters like you and me.

This is really helpful advice which I'll keep in mind!
