GSG NaNoWriMo 2010 Day 13 - Will You Respect Your Character in the Morning?

Day 13. 21,671 words. Holy cow.

Sometimes you need a particular character to act in a particular way. So you make them do something. The problem is, that's not the way the character would really act. And the part of your brain that is telling you this story goes... "that's wrong". And shuts down.

If you need a character to do something, fine. Go back and make the character the kind of person who would do that. Give them a reason to do it. Don't just come out of left field on that.

Also, you should be reading schlockmercenary.com, and listening to writingexcuses.com. I'm just sayin'.

Enjoy!
