How authors can apply chaos theory to their fiction writing

For some of us, our love of reading and writing was rivaled only by our hatred of math.

(Or is that just me?)

If you identify with that statement, Donald Maass hopes you'll still read and find value in his latest post for Writer Unboxed.

In it, he suggests setting aside linear equations in your writing and considering some truths from chaos theory.

The post really is easy to understand — Maass lists a chaos attribute and then explains its application as a story tool. 

Head to Writer Unboxed for his ode to chaos in both fiction and the creative process.
