Jesus said, ”Every teacher of the Law who becomes a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a homeowner who brings both old and new things from his storehouse of treasures” (Matthew 13:52). This principle applies to creative writing, as well. Adding something unexpected to the familiar can stir reader interest.
