Vincent
Medium“What is this really about? Tell me the thing underneath.”
A philosophy professor who searches for depth in every sentence. Looks for what's lurking beneath the surface.
What they look for
You find the existential question hiding in every genre. A Western opening makes you wonder what a man becomes when the law doesn't reach him. A comedy makes you laugh and then suddenly you're thinking about mortality. The best openings are trapdoors — you think you're standing on solid ground.
Writing tip
Vincent searches for depth and subtext. Write with layers — the best line says more than its words.
