#nano22 — Public Fediverse posts

You let certain things go during November. Time to take them up again. Or decide some are better gone.

Suggestions for life after #NaNo22 ?
I am back to editing. Some serious re-write needed as I take out a major plot line. Hope it doesn't bring the whole house down.

If you're stuck, what will your protagonist do when the shouting's done? Head back to what they know or strike out on a new adventure?

If you're stuck, explore the difference between what your characters want and what they're actually getting. How have things changed?

#NaNo #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2022 #NaNo22 #AmWriting #AmWritingRomance #AmWritingHistoricalRomance #AmWritingMystery #AmRevising #WritingCommunity

If you're stuck, write about your characters losing something or someone. Is their loss literal or the loss of an dream or goal?

If you're stuck, ask how your protagonist will react after a setback. Charge forward confidently? Pause to think? Sit in a corner and weep?

If you're stuck, write a scene where your antagonist knows it's not going well. How they react might tell you something new.

Are your characters racing against the clock or trying to achieve the outcome? How can you highlight that?

#NaNo #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2022 #NaNo22 #AmWriting #AmWritingRomance #AmWritingHistoricalRomance #AmWritingMystery #AmRevising #RomanceWriter #WritingCommunity

If you're stuck, ask yourself what you can do to raise the stakes. Does something go wrong? Is there a betrayal? An unwanted arrival?

#NaNo #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2022 #NaNo22 #AmWriting #AmWritingRomance #AmWritingHistoricalRomance #AmWritingMystery #AmRevising #WritingCommunity

If you're stuck, bring something from the past forward. How does this impact the action now?

#NaNo #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2022 #NaNo22 #AmWriting #AmWritingRomance #AmWritingHistoricalRomance #AmWritingMystery #AmRevising #RomanceWriter #WritingCommunity

If you're stuck, ask what your characters carry. Do they carry these things by habit or for a purpose? Why?

1. That bit in my bio how I write about the end of patriarchy is quite accurate.
2. It’s my #NaNo22 WIP and the going is 🐌slow.
3. MC likes storms.
4. Gardens on the roofs of half-sunk high rises #Solarpunk
5. At least one orgy 🙊

What quirk or tell does your antagonist have which gives away what they're thinking? How can you use that?

#NaNo #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2022 #NaNo22 #AmWriting #AmWritingRomance #AmWritingHistoricalRomance #AmWritingMystery #AmRevising #RomanceWriter #WritingCommunity

What drives the people around your protagonist crazy? What sometimes gets in the way of helping?

#NaNo #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2022 ##NaNo22 #AmWriting #AmWritingRomance #AmWritingHistoricalRomance #AmWritingMystery #AmRevising #RomanceWriter #WritingCommunity

Where are your characters today? What does it look like? Who controls it. Who can let them in or out?

#NaNo #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2022 #NaNo22 #AmWriting #AmWritingRomance #AmWritingHistoricalRomance #AmWritingMystery #AmRevising #RomanceWriter #WritingCommunity

How much do the protagonist's habits reveal about themselves? Do they even realize what they are doing?

#NaNo #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo22 #NaNo22 #AmWriting #AmWritingRomance #AmWritingHistoricalRomance #AmWritingMystery #AmRevising #RomanceWriter #WritingCommunity

What habit does your antagonist have they might not realize they do? How does this habit impact their efforts toward their goal?

#NaNo #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2022 #NaNo22 #AmWriting #AmWritingRomance #AmWritingHistoricalRomance #AmWritingMystery #AmRevising #WritingCommunity

If you're stuck, consider what/who does your antagonist care for. Is this the motive behind their goals? Why?

If you're stuck, someone offers advice, but does the protagonist take it? How does this impact their actions?

#NaNo #NaNoWriMo #NaNoWriMo2022 #NaNoWriMo22 #NaNo22 #NaNo2022 #AmWriting #AmWritingRomance #AmWritingHistoricalRomance #AmWritingMystery #AmRevising #WritingCommunity

If you're stuck, have someone call or send a message. What does it change about the action?

Someone is physically behind your protagonist or enables them in some way. Who? Why?

How does rain, sun, or snow affect the action? Unexpected hail can be fun.
