6/17 WIP Tip: Habits & Rituals
Thinking about your character (as if we ever take a break from it…), what are five of her daily habits? What do these accomplish and why are they necessary for her?
If she had to choose only one to keep, what would it be and why? Any chance you can create a conflict by putting that habits or ritual in jeopardy?
I’m nosy. What are your characters’ most important habits?

It's pretty simple, really. I'm a writer who loves writing about writing, and sharing all the tricks of the trade with other writers. And when I'm not writing, I'm thinking about writing. I have a hunch you know what I mean :)

Awesome! It’s a good thing, too. I have almost a month of them lined up at the moment
I have observed at Twitter that some folks set aside time to write and want to write but sometimes it’s just a matter of getting the brain to recognize that it’s time to think on the page & get in the story. I hope these prompts can do that for those people.
If not, that’s my story & I’m sticking to it.
Happy writing!
