Wow. I may end up the lone dissenting voice here. I hppean to think Castle, or more correctly the screenwriters, got it right with that line. All parts of writing are difficult but the story to me is the heart of the endeavor and thus the most critical and, by extension, the most difficult to get right. I also don't care much for the baby birthing analogy even here. I think it more like an operation. If the patient's heart the story isn't beating there's no point in starting. Keeping it beating throughout the surgery is the next challenge. But without a strong story or viable heart why start? I see too many masterfully worded books fail for want of a strong story while passable word play with a strong story sells millions. No. The story a truly strong story is the hardest. The rest is comparatively easy. But such a dissenting view just way reflect the different approaches writers take to their craft.Like? 1
