Ever been stuck in your writing, unsure of what comes next? That's where I was yesterday, so I decided on this exercise to help me focus.
Writing Exercise: Stuck? Use questions to help you determine where your writing needs to go. My response is below.
Questions:
How will the group react when they find out who the man is?
What will D. tell Mr. B. about how they got there?
How did Mr. B. get a message from G.?
What will Mr. B tell the group to do?
What will M.D. do?
What will happen in the next chapter?
Good thinking. Asking about the story development sounds like a great way to progress.
ReplyDeleteAnthony, Honestly, I wasn't sure what else to do to get un-stuck! :0)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
I find that the main character(s) are the driving force in my writing. I always do an in-detail character study before I start a project. Then the characters are so well entrenched, that their actions, dialogue follow naturally.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea about asking questions.
Susan,Yes, very good idea to do the in-depth character study! I did not do that on my book (my first) and I realize the error of my ways.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Good Exercise to remember!
ReplyDeleteBut did you do this to tease me? I want to know the answers to your questions too!
That Anonymous was me! Sorry!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous Briana (LOL) - Yes, I put them there to drive you crazy. I just feed you bits and pieces of my book, so you'll have to buy it. LOL.
ReplyDeleteMiss you!
