These are important things I have learned about writing fiction. I know these things, but sometimes I need a reminder. So I am writing them here, both as a reminder for myself, and as a reminder for all those who, like me, sometimes forget.

Characters must make choices.

Characters should often make bad choices before they make good choices.

Character choices should drive the vast majority of the plot. Characters reacting to having random stuff thrown at them is far less interesting than characters reacting to the stuff they've thrown after it's ricocheted around and comes bouncing back toward them.

If a character refuses to make a choice, there better be consequences for that too, and you better have a damn clear way of showing those consequences to the reader and the character.

Nearly every time I'm struggling with writing something, taking a step back and thinking about these 4 things usually helps get me unstuck.

valyrian superiority this targaryen restoration that. yet while we're taking characters' narratives about lost ancestral glory at face value, no one's talking about reuniting the kingdom of isles and rivers as of old. #takebackharrenhal #unleashthekraken

aerion brightflame greeting his baby brother at the gates of hell after egg died lighting his entire family on fire in a desperate attempt to revive dragons through blood sacrifice

[jonquilspool]

my ruminations: egg killing everyone and trying to raise the dragons being bc he perceived he was getting veryyyy closed to being deposed. whether or not this is real or paranoia is ambiguous in my mind but godddd egg jumping at shadows recalling his whole family head in hands sobbing to dunk. he tried. he did everything he could. but so long as feudalism reigns there's nothing to be done the people will continue to suffer. if only there were still dragons............... if only i had a dragon........
