Probably my favorite postmortem, this look back at 2005’s Indigo Prophecy has a lot of valuable insights. The one that’s stuck with me the most is that when writing a story, you can make the audience believe anything - but only once. An impossible premise is not a problem, but adding more impossibilities later is likely to backfire.
