J.J. Abrams talks about why mystery is important

I found this TED talk by J.J. Abrams, the man who, among his credits, created the television show LOST and produced the latest STAR TREK movie, very motivating. Abrams is so passionate about what he does and he’s incredibly funny as a speaker. His comments about writing, the importance of investing time in developing your characters, and the importance of mystery in storytelling are things I, as a writer, can relate to and find very inspirational. This may be directed more towards script writers, but novel writers will find nuggets they can use as well. Watch – I think you’ll enjoy it.
