“I often find a really good story is made up of a ton of smaller stories, like building blocks or facets, which enrich the whole by adding more random choices and disasters and discoveries that people made a long time ago. How do you go about doing this? Just look at any object or building or artifact in your world and ask yourself, "How did it get to be the way it is now?" And then pick the answer that seems the most interesting and fertile.” [#Writing](https://werd.io/tag/Writing)
