Writing and other efforts to produce an enduring piece of artwork is a gallant response to the prospect of death. Every person knows that they must die, and consequently people build elaborate symbolic defenses mechanism to shield themselves from knowledge of their impermanence. Every person possesses autonomy of the will, the ability to choose how to conduct their life. The freedom to act towards objects is ultimately useless; it provides a person with no sense of meaning and supplies no purpose to life because a mere collection of objects will not transcend their physical demise. An artist does not deny their impermanence but embraces the prospect of their death by laboring to create a monument of their existence that will survive their expiry.

There are a lot of ways for a novelist to create suspense, but also really only two: one a trick, one an art.The trick is to keep a secret. Or many secrets, even. In Lee Child__ books, Jack Reacher always has a big mystery to crack, but there are a series of smaller mysteries in the meantime, too, a new one appearing as soon as the last is resolved. J.__. Rowling is another master of this technique _ Who gave Harry that Firebolt? How is Rita Skeeter getting her info?The art, meanwhile, the thing that makes __ride and Prejudice_ so superbly suspenseful, more suspenseful than the slickest spy novel, is to write stories in which characters must make decisions. __reaking Bad_ kept a few secrets from its audience, but for the most part it was fantastically adept at forcing Walter and Jesse into choice, into action.
