Great video. I tend to think of research in writing like an iceberg. So much of what I do research will never end up in the book because no one needs to read 3 pages on wheat life cycles, but the sense that my character *knows* the wheat life cycle with tidbits here and there which may only be a tiny percentage is so important to make it feel real.

I feel this. One of the reasons I like to do a bunch of research and planning up front is to keep myself from getting tripped up. Before I started doing that, every time I had a research based question, it would interrupt my writing and make it harder to get words on the page.

Amazing video. This is probably the best use of analogy in under 10 mins to describe everything I've learned about character creation the past 2 decades. I applaud you good sir, kudos to you and your sharp wit! P.S. Just bought Campfire Pro because I loved the video, which led me to look up your app. Amazing piece of software. Cheers!

You're a freaking strange guy, but this is awesome! :D Thanks for this metaphor, staying in my head. I should have researched about storytelling, character developement and things like that, before i had half of my book done... :'D a year passed since than and now i am done. Not sure, what it is :D Its like a white wine with peach-taste, combined with spicy soljanka and 80%chokolate as dessert. Not bad, but strange. i think.. maby.

Okay so here's what you wanna do: Saute some pancetta in your saucepot until all the fat is rendered out. Remove pancetta bits and leave rendered fat. Saute up some onions and mushrooms in the pancetta fat with a little extra olive oil. Adding a little salt will help the mushrooms and onions release their liquids and saute faster. Once your veggies are nice and soft, clear some space in the center of the pot. In the empty space, put some tomato paste (~1 tbsp), red chili flake, 4 crushed cloves of garlic, and a healthy squeeze of anchovy paste (or 2 chovies, this won't make the sauce fishy, don't worry). Stir that around and let it cook for a minute before stirring the glob of paste into the veggies and adding the pancetta back. Let that saute for another minute. You can add dry spices here like oregano, basil. Whatever you want. Now add two large cans of San Marzano tomatoes and one can of water. I blend my tomatoes before adding, but you don't have to if you like it chunky. Add some salt and ~2 tbsp of sugar to the sauce and let it simmer for ~1.5 - 2 hours. I like to melt a couple tablespoons of butter in towards the end, and then BOOM. SAUCE. I've been making a lot of pizzas with this sauce during the quarantine. 10/10 recommend.
