Meaning, if I’m trying to tell some story and come across difficulty in that process, whether the actual writing of it, or in characterizing it to others or even just for myself, developing the concept of it and making determinations for what it should do and where it should go: in essence, it seems always to boil down to simply not yet knowing what that story is.

So the “solution”—which will essentially be unique to whatever project or story it is we’re creating—is to basically do more work in figuring out that story.

If you can nail that down, at least for me and my experience of it, then there won’t really be any other obstacles of that variety to stop from doing the work, leaving to just sit down and get busy.(less)

When it comes to writing and working within the boundaries of that specific medium, there aren’t really much in the way of any limits as to what it is you can do in telling your story. The world can be as massive or extensive in scope as you want or can manage. The story can cover as large a time-period as is conceivable or conversely, play with the notion and experience of time in ways other media simply cannot achieve with anywhere near the same degree of flexibility and freedom.

The story-world afforded us by the written word is, in this sense, near-limitless. Though technically it is necessary to acknowledge that in choosing this medium, that isn’t necessarily technically true—

The limit of the text-only story-world is our use of language and the words, themselves. Especially regarding the raw number of words necessary in telling whatever story it is you wish to tell in whatever desired scope and complexity.

The **potential** is limitless, but the raw materials in making manifest that potential does actually have physical form and shape—they are our words, our language, and our understanding and use of that language.

Getting a grasp on that, allows more for the effective use of that potential.(less)
