Guys, I'm getting the book back out. Remember this? 642 Things to Write About! Ah, yes, this book has jump-started a lot of great short stories that are never short enough for me to actually focus on long enough finish... But, today, I'm pulling another prompt from the book and just going for it! So, …

Put yourself in your character’s place

Become them. Yes, you all, I am back from my incessant questioning to bring you some real content. Not that the Inquiry Entries wasn't real blog content or anything... but, I'd like to get more at answering the questions rather than asking them this week. So, here's the part where you get to ask the …

Interview your characters!

On April 2, 2019March 30, 2019 By Kari Lynn MIn Writing!!!1 Comment

A wise woman once said that you should know your characters better than your own blood. Well, that wise woman might just be me, and I don't even know my own blood type. Alas, we all do need to know our main characters like the back of our hands--our cramping, sweating, carpal tunnel-ridden hands. And …

Writing tips: On character quirks

Hey guys! So, I haven't covered any writing tips in a while, and this is one I've been wanting to discuss for some time now. Now, what are character... "quirks"? And, more importantly, why should you use them? Character quirks, in my definition, are those little things that make a character unique. And, not just …

Interviewing characters!

On February 14, 2018February 12, 2018 By Kari Lynn MIn Writing!!!1 Comment

Hey guys, me again! So, I heard/read this thing a while back... probably on Pinterest or something, about different ways to get to know your characters better. One that I really remember and thought to be kind of neat was the idea of 'interviewing' your character or, like, filling out a questionnaire as your character. …

Why you need RELATABLE characters

On April 26, 2017 By Kari Lynn MIn Writing!!!3 Comments

A few days have passed since my last post (I get lazier with it every day it seems), so I was thinking today we should have a moderately lengthy, in-depth conversation about writing. Specifically, characters. And not, like, how many characters long your new hotmail password has to be... As writers, we all know how …

Happy birthday to this mostly unspecial pup with the very generic name--Bella! Even though she bites me quite often and leaves my fingers with multiple semi-permanent scars, I still cherish the rare nudge of her head on my hand when she wants some of my chips... Here's to putting up with her bipolar temper for 13 years!
