Another #LitHodgepodge I have to miss on because of my total lack of character art 😞 Apologies.

#LitHodgepodge 10 Never judge a book by its cover… unless someone asks! Post a non-AI image (alt text, please) portraying your character, and let others guess: If you were laying a trap for me, what 1-3 things would you set out as bait? 🪤 #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

My daughter lost her first tooth and put it under her pillow. I replaced it with an even bigger tooth. She wants to play tooth games? Let's dance.

Tough one. In terms of weaponry, probably Howard Pope, not that he has to use his firearm much these days. But his ability to incisively pick apart someone and find their emotional weak spots is probably more devastating anyway. #AwesomeCharacters

#LitHodgepodge I think Jenny Lewis would be the ultimate choice to assemble a song for my tale of Henry Clarkson. I think the vibe matches, and she has an incredible ability to make you feel nostalgic and wistful about things you’ve never even experienced.

#LitHodgepodge 9 Imagine your book is being adapted for TV/film. Who is your dream musical collaborator to compose the score or record the theme song? Choose based on the right vibes for your WIP, your favorite artist, or whatever criteria tickles your fancy. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

As a matter of fact, just earlier today I decided to add a significant piece of jewelry to Tara’s ensemble, an hourglass charm on her bracelet. Henry only ever thought of it as one of many little trinkets she owned, but then he spotted the same thing out in the wild, years later. #AwesomeCharacters

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Character design question! Does your character wear jewelry or similar decorative items? Do they wear something special all the time, or do they change it up regularly? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

The money pit restaurant I would open as a billionaire would be the opposite of farm to table. What are the most unnatural flavors possible? Hiring top food scientists, giving a blank check and telling them to really explore the dark corners of the flavor latent space. I want to taste eternity.

#LitHodgepodge This is very easy for Henry. He would want to travel to the past to find out what actually happened to his beloved Tara the night she went missing, and to try to prevent it if he could.

#LitHodgepodge 8 Thinking from the perspective of one (or more) of your characters, choose one (or more!) of these “would you rather” questions and provide an answer. Feel free to explain your character’s response. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Henry is a restaurant manager, but he actually knows the food, not just the business side. There are “hidden gems” all around, and smaller kitchens make the best food because they care about the craft more than turning tables. It matters more than pretentious eyewash. #AwesomeCharacters

Okay folks of the #WritersCommunity, I have an interesting indie marketing prompt challenge... Give us your elevator pitch, for yourself! What is your author brand? How would you sell yourself?

#LitHodgepodge A small bit from an untitled work in progress. This is a bit lavish compared to what I often produce, and I’ve got some sections that are maybe a little more fun and representative, but they are in huge files that are hard to navigate on my crappy phone!

#LitHodgepodge 7 Narrative voice is the unique fingerprint of your storytelling. Sentence structure, diction & tone all play a part. Share a snip where we can hear the sound of your narrative voice! NOTE: Choose a snip focused on narration (not dialogue). #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Roxie famously has outright dismissed the very notion of plans. She simply acts and reacts according to whims or whatever strikes her in a given moment. Pepper has a plan always, but nobody would understand it. God had a plan once, but…well, you see how that has worked out. #AwesomeCharacters

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Does your character have a plan? Are they the type to have a multistage plan worked out in advance? Do they prefer to wing it? Or are they purely reacting to circumstances? Does their plan need to adjust over time? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#LitHodgepodge I’ve not once set out to create an archetypical character. But I can recognize them where they exist. A sort that I’ve happened upon several times is the Everyman. Eric, Bill, Wyatt, certainly Henry. They often encounter extraordinary circumstances as a counterpoint to their norms.

#LitHodgepodge 6 Tropes and the archetypes they're built around help us understand reader expectations. If you know what’s expected, you can lean into that familiarity, or subvert it. Identify a character archetype in your WIP. Who are they? How do you use them? #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Tell me about your #AwesomeCharacters Antagonist day! I think even the most evil villains have things people will connect to, either something big or small. What's something you think people will find relatable about your antagonist? #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

#LitHodgepodge For Roxie, happiness is existing in the moment, as many moments as possible. There is no plan. Five minutes ago is a distant memory. Roxie thrives on an unexpected debate with an advertisement, a wild chase thru town with a new friend, or eating orgasmic tacos in the park.

#LitHodgepodge 5 A person's vision of happiness tells us a lot about them. Do they imagine adventure, security, peace? Or is it in the details—a cozy hearth, trophy on the mantle, gaggle of grandbabies? What's your OC's version of happiness? Give us a snapshot. #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

God and Also Kate live in a castle in Germany, of course. Kate is staying with them indefinitely. Frank lives in a normal house with his parents and his asshole cat, Pepper. Roxie has an apartment, but she mostly lives out of her decrepit AMC Gremlin due to her travels. #AwesomeCharacters

#Lithodgepodge I’m really only around the fringes here and don’t know anybody’s work well enough to ask specifically. So just in general for anybody who sees this: do you hope to reflect on something of the real world in your writing, or do you want total escapism?

It’s definitely Also Kate’s idea. He immediately forgot about it until ten minutes after guests started arriving. Exasperated, poor Kate is left to try to prepare food and engage with everyone until AK barges back in to serve pickles with tea and entertain with his Hammond organ. #AwesomeCharacters
