Ugh, profuse apologies! Time has completely gotten away from me. NaNoWrimo is almost here and I am furiously prepping (both my outline and my home as well as other things) for the upcoming insanity. So the fact that Character #inthehotseat was tonight slipped my mind 1/3

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

Hey everyone! Due to craziness only just abating, postponing Character #InTheHotSeat until next Thursday. Join us at 8 pm to grill your MCs love interest about their background!

Character Archetypes can be helpful. Not to be confused with stereotypes, archetypes are a very general kind of character type that just about every story needs. I like @KMWeiland 's 8 1/2 archetypes https://t.co/a3GZeKBDGL There are so many possibilities! Unlike stereotypes.

Character #inthehotseat will return on December 6 at 8pm EST! We'll be interviewing the MC's love interest (perhaps they are an MC themselves) about their background!

Have you ever been to https://t.co/AVok600XVc? If not, should totally do it! It has wonderful generators and other resources to help you flesh out a character! #characters #generators #rabbithole #getlost

For positive character arcs, it's all about the internal change. Of course, having it reflected in the external conflicts makes it that much stronger. #characters #positivearcs #conflictrules

Having issues with a character? Sit 'em down and start asking questions. See what kind of answers they give. You might be surprised #characters #interviews #difficultcharacters

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

suggestions for that, or any suggestions for anything else, please let me know! Thank you to everyone that has participated and thank you all for your patience. Again, so sorry! But we'll be back. 3/3

Because of NaNoWrimo, Character #inthehotseat will be put on hold during November, but we will come back strong in December. Hoping in the interim to find a way that folks can sign up for some kind of alert or email for it, as well. But we'll see. If anyone has any 2/3

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

@ExpertPigeon I think Lost Magic is great for a series title, but each book should have a different title, if that makes sense

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

Eeee! My friend's book!

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

@ClumsyCoconut It seems to be a common practice, I think.

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

Question #4:

What has had the greatest influence on them (positive or negative)?

#inthehotseat

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

@ClumsyCoconut Why does she acknowledge him in public?

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

Question #1:
Who raised this character? Who is their family (mother, father, siblings, children, etc)?

#inthehotseat

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

@ClumsyCoconut Yup, making my way through the questions, then I saw it XD lol

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

Welcome to Character #inthehotseat Let's start with some introductions. Tell us about the character you are interviewing, especially in regards to how they may be connected to your protagonist.

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

@DemonalityBook @canuckclick Very interesting!

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

@Morgan_R_R_Haze As long as you know it ^^ This is an exercise to get to know your characters more.

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

@ClumsyCoconut Ah, so the MC seems to be a child conceived out of wedlock. So, does she blame the child rather than the husband?

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

@ClumsyCoconut Hm, interesting.

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

Question #2:
What is their profession? What do they do to make money?

#inthehotseat

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

@ClumsyCoconut Does she count her step child as hers, or not?

[Characters in the Hot Seat @CharacterHot]

@ClumsyCoconut Because they are the child of their husband and not hers? Or is there more to it?
