LOCOMOTION
LOCOMOTION
All those Tarzan movies. Tarzan gets through the jungle by swinging from one vine to another …
As a writer, you want to stay in the jungle, but you need to be able to come and go and get about a bit. Sometimes you need to outpace the thousand enemies who are on your trail. So you need something like a vine, strong and functional, and every so often you need to find a new one. You reach out and grab it, and there you are: swinging again. Locomotion!
If you don’t reach out, you don’t go anywhere. You just hang there. You dangle.
