I've been fussing over the next chapter for a while. I couldn't figure out who it was about, or how they would be involved.
Today I got the opening. That nailed everything else and I got a thousand words down.
Do you peeps find a good opening will kick the story along? Or do you write in bits and join them up later?

Do you have a serious group with one crazy person, or a crazy group with one serious person?

When did your character give up their dreams? Or are they still dreamers?
-
Is there anything profound left to say in writing? Are we just re-treading old ground? Does new context expand or contract previous realisations?
Some genuine thoughts, please.

Got a whole bunch of words down onto a page, yesterday. I might even keep some of them.

My favourite thing I wrote recently that may not make it into the final cut:
"If there was an award for being lazy I'd definitely win. But I'd send someone else to collect it on my behalf."
What's a good line that you haven't been able to use, yet?

Do you ever use abstract or nonsensical techniques in your writing? I've been wondering how to handle a dream sequence..
-
What are your character's death goals? I'm sure they have life goals but what about when they die? What do they think their funeral would be like? How will they be remembered?

How might you make your work more positive? How might you make it more negative? if you think you have gone far enough, ask yourself, "How far can I go?"

Have you ever made a mistake in your writing that turned into something great? Desolation started because I typed ballroom and auto-correct came up with brawl room. Then my brain went, oooo!

What unique moment in time does your novel occupy? It's helpful to have something significant happening, not jut in your character's lives, but in the world in general. This can add a strong degree of realism and flavour.

What cycle does your story run on? For instance, a rural story, in spite of what many city-based authors think, will run on a cycle of planting and harvest. All major scenes in the story should revolve around those activities. Perhaps you're characters are putting on a theatre show, so rehearsals, bump-in, tech, dress, these are your scene points. Please do a little research on your setting.
-
Do you write from different points of view? How do different characters perceive the same event? Who is right (if any)?
-
The villain doesn't necessarily have to be an actual moustache-twirling, volcano-lair baddie. But they must represent something the MC opposes at the their core.
-
What level of intimacy do you present in your work? Do you dig down to all the squishy noises or pan tastefully to the rhythmically wafting curtains?
-
How many times is food mentioned in your work? Is it even central to the story?

Do you read outside your era, country, or language?Difficult to read outside a language you don't speak. I'll read translations, sure. Many from other countries, and times.
-
What is your character's price? It's lovely to say that you hero could never be bought, but way more interesting to dig deeply enough into their moral make-up to find a limit.
