To start this off, I’m going to announce the subject of my next blog fest! This time around I think we’re going to deal more with the character side of stories rather than just the story itself. So, I’m very excited to announce “Interview With The Character” Blog Fest! All you have to do is either take a character you either love or hate from a story you’ve written (or a character you just created!) and conduct an interview with that character. It’s a great way to get really creative and get inside your character’s mind. The tentative deadline for this blog fest is January 7th, so you have a few weeks to get started. Also, please feel free to spread the word to those you feel would also be interested in participating in this. The more, the merrier!
If you’re interested in participating, please let me know by either commenting here or e-mailing me at thestoryinme@gmail.com. Make sure to leave your blog’s link so I can link your blog on the blog fest day. Let’s make this one really fun.
Alright, let’s get on with Writing Prompt Wednesday!
- Write a short story based on this line: “I just couldn’t believe my luck!”
I’m also still willing to have more guest bloggers do a post for this blog and to do some more guest blogging on others blogs. Let me know if you’re interested.
Characters are the core of a story. A great plot may bore a reader if the participating characters do not click with them. You create characters that people can get into. This makes the plot move for the reader, this identity sharing experience that puts the reader in the middle of it, with an opinion, aspirations, real involvement. Blessings to you…

I think I might give this a shot, would really test me seeing as one of my characters is a serial-killing paedophile! Hmmn.

Thank you. Your character sounds very interesting. That could definitely lead to an intriguing interview.
All you have to do now is make up the interview and then post it on your blog on January 7th with a link to my blog. I will have a list of all participants and their blogs on January 7th as well, so people who stop by can go to yours and check out what you have come up with.
This is wonderful. I’ll have to put my thinking cap on… as long as I am not too late… lol It is Thursday after all. Love getting a challenge. Thank you.
You are not too late.
I look forward to reading your interview!
