Questions Asked During Class

1. How do you know when a piece of writing is good enough to call it finished?
2. Is it fair to guess at other character’s emotional truth? How can you really know what they were feeling if, lets say they are dead and you can’t ask them?
3. Do we really have to write backstory for every character?
