Howard Aiken<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/WordWeavers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WordWeavers</a> Have you ever learned something about yourself from your characters?Not from my characters exactly, but from the act of creating them, from the process of writing, I have learned (for example) that I've been trying out dialogue in my head since childhood. Now I realise what it is, and I get to write it down. <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/histfic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histfic</a>

Howard Aiken<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/WordWeavers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WordWeavers</a> 28. What gives your characters a sense of self-worth or meaning in their life?In some ways, this question is at the heart of "The Plague Angel". If you believe in God, and He sends Plague to kill you and all those around you, where do you find meaning or self-worth?<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writingcommunity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/histfic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histfic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/amquerying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#amquerying</a>

Howard Aiken<a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/PennedPossibilities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PennedPossibilities</a> 613 — How do you feel about the world or universe you’ve created within your WIP? Are you satisfied with it thus far?Writing about 14th century Europe is a mixture of the strangely familiar and the simply strange. I'm mostly satisfied with my recreation of it, but I suspect academic historians will spot mistakes. That said, I'm writing <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/histfic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#histfic</a>, not a history textbook and and as long as I tell a good story and don't make any schoolboy errors, I will be (mostly) satisfied.
