While some are daunted by the daily word count asked of us (1600) during NaNoWriMo, the positive aspect of this entire venture is to simply write.
Such a high word count due to the compression of time (one month) leaves little time to think, which for me, is where the inner critic slips in.
NaNoWriMo is also a great time to learn about my strengths and challenges in writng, the way I write, my process.

Of Idiosyncracies, Formidable Personalities and Specifics
Describing an experience or person as bad or terrible will not suffice in fiction writing.
Writing that the foster parents in a novel are mean or horrible does not flesh out the unique idiosyncrasies of their formidable personalities.
Let us turn to the context of the orphan in a less than ideal foster home. Read the rest of this entry…

Of Crevices, Cracks and Teflon�
Symbols deepen what we, as readers, come to know and experience with a character.
But what makes us feel with and for her, or him [the protagonist]–cry with them, scream for them, die with them?
What ultimately moves and transforms us, the reader, along with the central character of a story, or novel?
Certainly obstacles and a great antagonist stoke the fires of us cheering on the protagonist.
But what brings us even closer to feeling, touching and being moved by the humanity, and vulnerability of a central character? Read the rest of this entry…

Talismans/Symbols and Goals
Every good story possesses not only a character, who through the author’s lucid and vibrant descriptions, draws us to root for her or him, but who also reflects aspect of ourselves with whom we have yet to make peace, or accept.
The protagonists of these stories also face a formidable opponent, a living, and breathing antagonist, whose complexities both in action, words and thoughts compel the central character to show both the light and the dark aspects of their personalities. Read the rest of this entry…

Showing Up�
Should the protagonist not appear, in court when summoned, the judge renders a default in favor of the opposing character, whether they be defendant or plaintiff.
The character has failed to present and/or make her or his case for a story. And so has the author.
All forward motion of plot ceases. No story exists, that is unless the narrative is one of chronicling the central character’s avoidance of what has come to bear. Read the rest of this entry…

Each story or novel presents the main character with not only an upset in daily activities, but also a quest.
That quest presents itself not unlike a summons to court.
The protagonist, in arriving at court, must plead her or his case. And yet the judge, the bailiff, the jurors, even the attorneys for both the plaintiff and the defense, reflect aspects of the central character. Read the rest of this entry…

Setting the Stage
What is your protagonist doing, and or saying when the curtain lifts on the set of that first page of your story, or novel?
Their actions and dialogue relay not only much about who they are while interacting in the world with others, but also their identity within the universe of their own personalities.
They also where the journey of the story demands they grow and change in an effort to survive the chaos and the upheaval every good story bestows. Read the rest of this entry…

The Herald places the protagonist on a state of alert, tells him or her how to read the signs, “One if by land, two if by see.” They warn the central character to be on guard. New things are coming her or his way. Read the rest of this entry…

Who Am I: What Do I Really Want?
According to Jungian theory, the shadow aspect of one’s personality contains any, and everything that falls out of alignment, stands apart, from the ego ideal.
The writer must examine the central character’s values, those held by her or his family, mother, father and culture, to gain a sense of how the Shadow archetype might manifest in story. Read the rest of this entry…

Illusions, Deceptions, and Various Manifestations of Doubt
The Chameleon or Shapeshifter archetype relates directly to the Jungian archetypes of anima and animus. Anima is the feminine aspect all men hold and animus is the masculine aspect every female carries in her psyche.
Anima and animus reside in the archetypal unconscious that belies the individual unconscious layered by shadow. Anima and animus speak to the residual memories of past lives, ancestral histories. Read the rest of this entry…

Chameleons and The Evolution of Character
Writers and others in the dramatic arts find it hard to grasp the function of the Shapeshifter archetype due to its strongly psychological nature, and its role in story. Because of the energy it embodies, some term the Shapeshifter a Chameleon.
When viewed as a force, or aspect of personality or character the Shapeshifter operates as a Doubting Thomas or Devil’s Advocate, in its efforts to stir the protagonist towards pursuit, and quest. Read the rest of this entry…
