8/10 WIP Tip: Work.
Ahhh…summer. Its warm mornings and decadent garden vegetables are slipping through my fingers as we speak. I lament the loss of summer every year because longer nights mean less sunlight and September forces me from writing back into the classroom.
After a vacation from work, one of at least a week or more, how does your character feel about going back? Must she force herself back into the routine or is she back at her desk an hour before anyone arrives? What does she miss most about her vacation time and what does she relish most during her working hours?
Your character’s job may never show up in your work but knowing where she stands in terms of career can help you craft parallel activities showing her in happiness or in conflict.
Now to head to our teacher’s staff retreat…sigh!

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 :)
