8/8 WIP Tip: Weekends
I often assume everyone loves the weekends as much as I do. Loverboy even wrote a song about it in the 80s (ahhhh….80s music…but I digress)….
But assumption is only clouded perception. How does your character view the weekend? If it’s a simple release of the work week and play time, how does she approach that time? Does she want quiet? A dinner party, a ski trip, a wild night at the club? 48 hours of alone time or a weekend away visiting family?
How your character likes her weekends adds depth to her persona. Do a little digging and see where she wants to be 
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 :)
