In this episode, we finish the series Discovering Characters.
Tomorrow starts June, and The Write Focus will have a June Writing Challenge. We hope to write the equivalent of 1,000 words per day, giving us 30,000 words by the end of the month. That’s a great start on a novel or nearly a complete novella, or a handful of short stories. 1,000 sounds not a lot, but summer is filled with distractions and disruptions. Join us for the June Writing Challenge, 1,000 wpd. We’ll share our progress starting on June 7, then June 14 and 21 and 28, with a final check-in on July 5.
As for this episode, last in Discovering Characters, we’re going through what I call Ornaments to the story. These are significant lists. Characters. Items. Events.
Ornaments add richness of detail to our plot, just as ornaments add richness of celebration to a Christmas tree.
