the conceit underlying all fiction is that we agree to believe (conditionally and temporarily) something that is not true. Believe that there is a large, white, malevolent whale. Believe that Holden Caulfield is a real person. Believe that “…a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.”
Belief is as essential to writing as it is to reading.
