On not writing and on acting out what you write
My fiction writing has been on hold lately, so I've been writing about writing in order to keep my head in the game. This week has been particularly busy, so I thought I would just share with you just a couple of the writer-centric blogs I enjoy checking on now and then:
The Urban Muse
Storytellers Unplugged
And here's an entry from Writer Unboxed that speaks to me, since I've been doing that sort of thing for years. Fictional characters aren't acting (unless they happen to be actors), but getting up and acting out a scene will give you insight and let you tune in to see whether your characters are behaving true-to-nature. I do recommend using a bit of restraint if you happen to have close neighbors. They may wonder at the noises coming from your home or office.
Encourage a struggling fellow writer this week. I hope I just did.
