Quote from Margart P. Slumbuddie, founding member, Organismic Publishing

Mechanical authors have solutions to each of their problems before they even know what their problems are. That’s the problem. They’ve got the plot laid out; the highs, lows, and pauses. Stories don’t work that way, though. Stories involve persons and their obstacles. […] There are many ways to tell a story. Instead Mechanics fill in the blanks with other people’s answers, using formulas that have proven successful, and which will be perpetuated until they prove to be unsuccessful.
