bluflamingo's journal and meant to post it a while ago. Anyway, here you go:
I think it would be fun to talk about stories, but the usual memes are like, "What happens next?" "Tell me about Character A?" Which isn't so much talking about stories as it is writing more of a story. But you know how sometimes you read something and you're like, "I got ___ out of this story, I wonder if I have that right?" or "What on earth was ____ supposed to be?" and it's too awkward to ask the author? Now you could totally ask!
I've heard people say that writing is hard because you have to make decisions, but we never really talk about the decisions we make with stories or why we make them. We talk about plot bunnies, but not about how we actually turn them into a story.
So, if you wanted, ask me questions!
What were you trying to do [here]? Why did you decide to ____? This is what I thought about xyz, is that what you were going for? What made you write ____? Why did you decide to do this? And so on.
And yes, I will post another "30 days of..." entry soon. Just not... um... now. Yes.

Date: 2011-01-09 10:47 pm (UTC)What is her back story? How did she come to get chosen for Atlantis? What made her notice McSmartypants? If you could change one thing about her as a character what would it be and why? Do you have some kind of future planned for her? Who would she least (and most) like being stuck in a room with for hours on end? If Major Yoda had one piece of advice for her what would it be?
