A Glimpse of the 12 Pitfalls Inside

(There are twelve total)

»Isn’t the script enough?«

»What’s the best book on this person?«

»What do I do when sources don’t match?«

»Can I just ask someone who was there?«

»Am I over-researching?«

»Why did visiting that place mess me up?«

»This little note can’t matter… right?«

»Why am I carrying this story in my body?«

Plus the Manifesto — why your preparation needs emotional evidence, not improvisation.
