Stories are filled with unlikely occurrences. It’s
hard to avoid unless you’re writing about very mundane events. But no matter
how fantastical things get, and how willing the reader is to suspend their
disbelief, it’s the writer’s responsibility to make what’s happening on the
page feel believable.
And there are plenty of attributes of the good liar
that can prove useful in doing this.
A lot of which comes down to not what you say but
how you say it.
