inkstainsHello 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 :-)
