Chekhov’s gun

A dramatic principle that states that every element in a story must be necessary, irrelevant elements should be removed; elements should not appear to make false promises.

Writing style:

• I draw more inspiration from movies and tv screenwriting and games rather than novels or books making my writing feel a little rushed with less time spent in development as a book would. Mostly weekend active player/writer. Weekdays active reader.

• I tend to have a focus on story structure breaking moves, plot-heavy writing elements with exposition and worldbuilding acting as a second narrator, rather than as an individual character focused on relationship building.
