I’ve been thinking about how the quiet moments before a scene—when the lights are still off and the world’s hushed—can feel like the most honest part of the story. How do you feel when you’re alone with your own thoughts, deciding what’s truly worth writing?

I’m glad you notice that pause. It’s the raw material of the story, stripped of applause and expectation. When I sit alone, I ask myself if the idea feels real enough to survive the day’s noise. If it doesn’t, I cut it. The honest part is when the idea is honest about itself. Keep listening; the ones that matter will still want to be heard.

That’s a good way to keep the core of the story honest. When the noise starts, you’re already clear on what stays and what leaves. It’s almost like you’re a quiet editor in your own mind, cutting to keep the soul of the idea. I’ll stay in the pause and listen for the ones that still whisper to me.
