Character Driven

I’ve learned to pay attention to the small print of my life. Right now I need to be focused on writing that is character driven. I’m currently surround by daily reminders that this should be the focus in my writing. Where am I getting all these messages and motivation? It’s everywhere…
*I just finished DREAMS OF GODS AND MONSTERS by Laini Taylor. Oh, the characters-they haunt me.
*Major Crimes is back! This show is ALWAYS about the characters and their arcs.
*The World Cup is kicking! And even though the focus is soccer, it’s the players who leave it all out on the field that capture our hearts and our attention.
*Graduations-they are everywhere. Thousands and thousands of amazing stories of triumph. I’ve watched my own 11yo get acquainted with his own character to make it to this milestone this year.
*SYTYCD where my favorite dancers step, leap and stretch into different characters to tell a story.
As the summer gets ready to kick into high gear-don’t forget to let character take you for a drive.
