How does your character's behaviour change over the course of the story? What's something they would never do at the beginning of the tale that they will definitely do at the end?

What level of intimacy do you present in your work? Do you dig down to all the squishy noises or pan tastefully to the rhythmically wafting curtains?

How many times is food mentioned in your work? Is it even central to the story?

I had the awesome opportunity to write about the process of writing "Queer Rites" on Chuck Wendig's blog recently. The process of writing the post made me think about stuff I hadn't thought about deeply before, so it was a good exercise!

Is technology helping or hindering your characters?

How much do your characters develop emotionally? Perhaps, at the beginning of the work, they would be reluctant to set fire to someone they considered a friend.

A tradition or ritual exists due to a misunderstanding. How might your characters understanding get them in trouble?

How easy would it be to manipulate your character?

What does your character struggle with? Is there some way to remove the obstacle, or will they have to change to avoid it?

I had a nice little break over xmas. Looking forward to getting back into some writing. I have a difficult scene coming up in my new book.

I've found it's important when facing something like that to get something down on paper. It's impossible to work with nothing. Even if the first draft is bad, you have at least learned what not to do.

Do you like to get intimate, or do you stick with metaphors?

How is your character different at the end of the story than they were at the beginning?

You character should be different at the end of the story than at the beginning. What do they want to change? What do they need to change? Why will there be a conflict between those two things?

Pro writing tip: keep your Main Character's name short. Max. Jen. Li. You could be typing it hundreds of times, after all. Watch the productivity gain.
