Want a gutsy story that has more bite?
remember stories with straw men take no flight
a warrior's skill is measured by who he battles
weak story lines result when villains shake rattles

ticket sales take off when opposing forces are dark
'Cape Fear' incarnates must bite, not bark
when love turns bad, audiences can n'er be too displeased
this is a necessary ingredient at pushing villains to succeed.

Fear of villany is pumped up by our sense of being exposed
create suspense in melodrama...key elements must be imposed.
revisit James Bond movies to see the improbable... audiences are enthralled
dramatic tension escalates: successful opposing forces are installed.

So are our lives..forces oppose,dramatic tension builds and releases
persons alone or in groups fight against the system, reset peace,
natural disasters continues to strike on and off the set
characters continue to fight forces of nature..set new bets.

A warriors skill is measured by who he battles
weak stories result when antagonists wave rattles
savour suspense in tales with villains that bite
tension and release: keys to successful dramatic writes.

BRAVO!!! Oh Martin, I couldn't agree with you more, and I believe in reality we all have antagonists of our own, and while I have been abused so much in my early life and depressed, I am also fortunate to have endured all of that and survived for now I have grown to be a warrior and I love myself so much now and I wouldn't have loved yself this way if I hadn't felt the pain! (big hugggsssssss) This is absolutely wonderful and packed with wisdom, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
