TNT2: the process
Hello everyone! Hope you're all getting a plethora of ideas for the Week 1 Topic! Meanwhile, it's Tuesday, and here's another TNT column! Remember, if you have an idea for a discussion, feel free to PM it to us!
Allons-y!
My favourite parts of the writing process are:
a) characterisation. I enjoy giving each character the breath of life, so to speak. Learning strange things about them: how they react under pressure, what their favourite colour is, and if they're prone to putting ketchup on bananas. One of the first questions I ask a character is, 'If you're in a dark alley and someone attacks you, what do you do?'
b) endings. I love that satisfying feeling of finishing a work: I have so many half-baked ones lying around. Especially if it's a long work, that I forgot about and came back to.
So, what are your favourite parts of the writing process? And what are your least favourites, if any?
Share away :-)

OMG THAT. I was playing in a commentfic party a couple weeks ago - commentfic! where plot isn't really required at all! - and made a snap decision to kill off a character, and another snap decision that his fiance was pregnant. It has since expanded into a huuuuuuge universe of its own that I'm slowly writing down. omg. I'm so in love with the characters though. It's so nice when a character - in this case, the baby boy - just sits down with you and says "Okay. It's time to get out of this rut. You're going to write my story. Here's your keyboard, here's your word processing program. Go."
