To have the beginning of a truly great story, you need to have a character you're completely and utterly obsessed with. Without obsession, to the point of a maddening addiction, there's no point to continue.

About This Quote

When you are obsessed with someone, you are completely dedicated to their cause. No matter what happens between you, or what adversity they may face, you will do anything in your power to see them succeed. You are so wrapped up in their cause that you lose sight of yourself, giving your all for them. A truly great story needs one person who is obsessed with another person. Without that obsession, the story would have no direction, no plot and no climax.
