Writer's Ideology
History, existing stories of lore, and associated legends serve as props, sources of plots and characters, and intriguing curiosities. We should thoroughly immerse ourselves in the lives and times of our characters, but we must never become slaves to it. We must be prepared to play as fast and loose with the facts as we need to, to create great storylines and when given the chance, make our creative ventures into writing resonate.
