    “6. The best stories always end up being about the people rather than the event.” – This is so true. I agree with this statement as the reader as well as the writer. When I’m writing at the beginning I always think about how awesome the plot I created is . But at the end I feel so attached to them and I understand that they are what make the book I write so good.
    Great tips from Stephen. Thanks for sharing them, Cathy!
