Lehan made it simple.
No stress. No freeze.
A story card can follow
three easy keys.
First: What happened?
Say it clean.
A lunch table moment.
A beach day scene.
Second: Why did it matter?
What changed inside?
Did someone laugh?
Did someone lie?
Third: What is the point?
Land the plane.
Make the reader feel
the joy or pain.
That is enough.
No need to pose.
No need to sound
like ancient prose.
Good writing is clear.
Good writing moves.
Good writing has
a little truth.
