Equilibrium is paramount in the crafting of a story, and for every writer this sense of
balance is different. The writer must manage a balance of showing and telling, of denotation
and connotation, and forever strive to find the perfect word in both the denotative and
connotative sense, so that the reader and writer can meeting in a living story—both in the ink
on the page and the remaining white space.
