NOTE

Authenticity Requires Balance

In storytelling, authenticity is paramount, and to achieve it, one must strike a balance between grand gestures and grounded reality. When narratives rely too heavily on over-the-top moments without sufficient buildup, they feel inauthentic. A character's triumph should resonate with the audience; therefore, essential character dynamics, like conflicts and prejudices, must be subtly developed along the way. Just as butter must be spread evenly and baked properly for the best flavor, narrative elements should be integrated thoughtfully across chapters. Each segment should contribute to the overarching emotional arc, ensuring that climactic moments hold true significance and impact.
