I always wanted to tell the story of how Pearl Jam is the story of lightning striking twice. As well as being the flipside of the classic rock tale where great promise ends in tragedy. This is where tragedy begins great promise.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To begin with, I want to tell a good story, a story that people will listen to and that they'll think this is true, even if it is a story that might be defined as - as myth or legend or even fanciful.
It is in your DNA to love a good story. You know, neat tales with heroes and villains and conflicts to resolve. A good story pushes our buttons, is exciting and memorable.
The best story is the story that gets to the most people.
I'm going to try to tell stories and let each tale skate its own way into dark or light territory as the needs of the story steer me.
In all love stories the theme is love and tragedy, so by writing these types of stories, I have to include tragedy.
Fairy tales to me are never happy, sweet stories. They're moral stories about overcoming the dark side and the bad.
I look for two things when I am about to launch into a book. First, there has to be a dramatic arc to the story itself that will carry me, and the reader, from beginning to end. Second, the story has to weave through larger themes that can illuminate the world of the subject.
What I like about fairy tales is that they highlight the emotions within a story. The situations aren't real, with falling stars and pirates. But what you do relate to is the emotions that the characters feel.
A good story, a story resonant and remarkable, can be remade endlessly to tell new sides of itself for new generations of readers.
A story really isn't truly a story until it reaches its climax and conclusion.
