Napping and Writing? Yes, napping can refill the creative well when it's run dry. If you don’t like to take a siesta because you wake up more grumpy than before, that’s fine. But don’t judge nappers either. novelgazing.org bit.ly/32tB2RJ

Sometimes an editor's suggestions, and even words, can make their way into your novel, to the point that they don’t feel like your words. So how can an author deal with that? I explain more and offer some advice in my latest article for @WriterUnboxed writerunboxed.com/2020/05/12/you…

What are your character's core values? In stories, it’s a wonderful tool to be aware of because when your characters’ core views are challenged, they’ll defend them. That leads to (some degree of) conflict, and conflict means drama. @jimdempsey bit.ly/2YL3rBN

Knowing what motivates your characters can help you decide which way will go and – more importantly – why. This will make your characters even more believable, more human, and the story more engaging. writerunboxed.com/2017/12/01/thr…
