STORY STARTER
Write a story about a character writing a story.
Perhaps they're an aspiring author, maybe they're stuck for ideas. Or maybe this character represents yourself and the struggles and joys you meet when trying to write your own work.
I Write To Know What I'm Thinking
For me, writing is one part therapy and two parts wondering what I'm thinking about. Therapy, because if I didn't write I'd explode. Wondering what I'm thinking about because far too often I'm not sure unless I see it in writing.
As far as genre, I'd say first I'm a generalist in that I don't specialize in any one field and second, I'm a memoirist--if that's even a word. But of course it is! I just used it in a sentence! Hey, if Shakespeare can make up words, I can make up words!
Often, when I'm writing, I'll completely change my mind about how I feel about something.
Ultimately, I write about whatever strikes my fancy.
