How often do you think about writing? Ever come across something IRL that reminds you of your story/characters?
Writing is a natural part of my life, so I find myself thinking about my writing often. It can be next steps or “fixes” in current pieces I’m working on. It can be new ideas. It can be elements of the writing life like conferences of interest, skills learned from readings about the craft, tips learned from writing friends and the community.
Things in real life do remind me about my characters and stories. I work to have my pieces be a view into some corners of life and for the characters to be well-rounded and true.
Final question! Tag someone! And tell us what you like about that person as a writer and/or about one of his/her characters!
I’m not going to tag anyone, but I will say that this process of answering the questions has been helpful for me. I’ve thought about how I develop elements in my writing and see opportunities to branch out and try new things. If you want to try, here’s the link to my original post that has the full list of questions. Good luck!
