Isabel Allende: Tales of Passion
Penguin February 4th, 2008
Isabel Allende talks about truth. “What is truer than truth? The story.” As writers and filmmakers, our task is entwined with story and story telling. If we want to convince someone, if we want to convey some truth that we believe, what better way than through the art of the story? Jesus understood this when he used parables to expound on Kingdom truths.
In each story, there are characters. Each one of your characters needs to have passion. They have to have a heart to drive them. That desire, that want that propels them forward through your story. No one wants to see a story about a boring person. Unless that boring person becomes extraordinary through their circumstances.
As with your characters, you, as the creator, need passion too. More than training and luck, is your passion. The passion for your characters. Your passion for your stories. The passion for your art.
Where do your passions lie?
