Bodies of Water by Michael Oliver Love

[elle-thereafter]

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.

This is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen .. bowhead whale why you got the eyes of an antique polychrome Buddha statue ... Just like wow

[hexjulia]

by Steven J. Kazlowski: "The eye of a massive 48 foot 8 inch bowhead whale Balaena mysticetus caught by Inupiaq subsistence whalers during spring whaling season Chukchi Sea off the coastal arctic village of Barrow Alaska. Whalers can tell the age of a whale by the number of rings in its eye much like the rings of a tree"
