The practice
The trilogy

Two crafts. One author.

The same instincts that win contracts turn out to be the ones that keep characters alive.

03
Capture calls it a win theme. Fiction calls it a reveal.

Underneath, it is one discipline. Decide what the audience learns, and when. Capture and fiction are both decisions about sequence made against a date nobody moved for you, and both fail the same way, by putting everything on the table at once to prove it is all there. Good bids lose on that. So do chapters.
