Focus Shift — Characters
Ok. I think for the up-coming week, I’m going to try to shift my writing to character-based writing. Basically, I’ll do the same free association, and then try to create a character based around the word that I come up with. I think that the character creation will follow the pattern of:
List of words, phrases, and sentences just thrown down as a first impression.
Typical MUD-style writing where the description is told, not shown. (Quality writing is supposed to be the other way around.)
A more refined writing (paragraph or two) that gives you an impression of the character that is written with an eye for quality writing.
We’ll see how it goes.
