One of the biggest challenges in storytelling:
Highlighting and exaggerating emotion.
For the last 2 weeks, I’ve been editing the first draft of my book.
This “Feelings Wheel” has been open in a tab the entire time:
• 7 basic feelings
• 43 mid-level feelings
• 96 deep feelings

Introverts don't dislike people. They spend plenty of time with others—and enjoy it as much as extraverts.
They just seek different kinds of interaction. Extraverts are energized in rooms full of strangers. Introverts prefer small groups of familiar faces.

I believe in both bodily autonomy and the sanctity of life.
In some situations, abortion is necessary. Being pro-life requires being pro-choice.
Overturning Roe v Wade was one small vote for a group of mostly men—and one giant setback for human rights.

You don't get chosen to take charge unless you give good answers. You won't be able to make change unless you ask good questions.
Learning depends on making it safe for people to tell you the truth.

“More engineers” will usually *not* solve your problems. Because the real problem is often a strategy problem, culture problem, interpersonal problem, trust problem, creativity problem, or market problem. More engineers *will* solve your “I don’t have enough engineers” problem.
