Get Bane on the Plane!
Get Bane on the Plane!
I hired Luke Baker to review the last year of my writing. His most memorable piece of feedback was, "Get Bane on the Plane!"
I knew exactly what he meant.
In The Dark Knight Rises, the opening scene comes out swinging. Bane hijacks a CIA plane within the first few minutes.
BOOM. You get an immediate taste of what's coming.
If you don't like it, don't waste two hours sticking around.
If you do, you'll probably enjoy what's next.
He called out two flaws in my own writing:
- I take too long to get to the point
- My best points often arrive too late
Now the real work begins. It's time to get Bane on the plane.
