He cannot indulge in sentimentality, in propagandizing, or in pornography and create a work of art, for all these things are excesses. They call attention to themselves and distract from the work as a whole.","author":"Flannery O'Connor","tags":["how-to-write","how-to-write-a-novel","how-to-write-fiction","work-of-art","writers","writers-on-writing","writing","writing-style","writing-tips"],"id":51593,"author_id":"Flannery+O%27Connor"},{"text":"Now the second common characteristic of fiction follows from this, and it is that fiction is presented in such a way that the reader has the sense that it is unfolding around him. This doesn't mean he has to identify himself with the character or feel compassion for the character or anything like that. It just means that fiction has to be largely presented rather than reported. Another way to say it is that though fiction is a narrative art, it relies heavily on the element of drama.","author":"Flannery O'Connor","tags":["character","fiction-writing","how-to-write","how-to-write-a-novel","how-to-write-fiction","plot","show-don-t-tell","show-dont-tell","storytelling","writers-on-writing","writing","writing-fiction"],"id":84057,"author_id":"Flannery+O%27Connor"},{"text":"The power of a writer is that he is a god of sorts.
