You can’t write a character you don’t understand. You have to live in their head. See the world through their eyes. Love what they love. Fear what they fear.

There’s a through line between acting and writing that I didn’t see at first.
It’s not about performance. It’s not about pretending.
It’s about empathy. Understanding.

Start with a single question. What’s the private rule this character lives by? “Don’t disappoint anyone,” “Stay in control,” or “Never show weakness.” These create tension, conflict. and change.

What makes the final stretch of your book both powerful and rewarding? Your main character is acting in line with their truth and getting what they need: hollyschindler.substack.com/p/act-5-the-...

I think this is why I write. Why I read. Why I loved acting and still miss it.
Because one life isn’t enough.

That’s the power of art. It multiplies your existence.
You’re not limited to the one life you were born into. You get to live a thousand lives. A thousand versions of what it means to be human.

I am always up to...well, something.
Details are both none of your business anmnd irrelevant anyway as the plot is always in flux.

What I've learned from querying my debut novel:
-Word count matters more than you think
-Comp titles are brutal to find
-Your query letter and synopsis is a completely different skill from writing your book.

I write characters who think they’re fine until life gently taps them on the shoulder and says “no ❤️" #indieauthor #writer #author #storyteller #plotting

A sketch of a map that will be on the back of an enormous turtle. So far nothing is drawn on "Momma" yet, but I'll add as I write. Baby Driftwood is near Momma's head, and he's about as big as her eyes. At the bottom are two cuttings from the big map. One is of the Terralia Islands, a strand of volcanic islands. The other is of the three colonies along the Basalt Coast and the Last Island South, with an artful dragon on the shore. All art by Rebecca E. Reyes (Me)
This is the concept map for The Island in the Ink, a novelette I just started. I'm gonna make the big turtle the main map, with important areas below.
Please note, this is only a sketch of Momma. While I write, I'm gonna add notes as to where locations are, then render her.

Writing has always been my way of making sense of things. I started young, scribbling in notebooks during solo trips. Airports, trains, that specific kind of solitude that makes you feel both invisible and hyper-aware.

Been working hard on my second fantasy novel. I have about 6k words left to write and so I made an outline of the last 7 story beats I want to hit before I wrap it up. Then it's time to revise and edit. #fantasy #writer #author #indiewriter #fantasywriter #books #plotting
Hmmmm.

Subtle character details are oftentimes the key to the mysteries the characters hold.
