The Insecure Writer's Support Group
Join us on the first Wednesday of each month in Alex J. Cavanaugh's Insecure Writer's Support Group--a forum of writers who gather to talk about writing and the writer's life. For a complete list of participants visit Alex's Blog.
The co-hosts for the September 2 posting of the IWSG are Kate Larkinsdale, SE White, JS Pailly, Olga Godim, and Natalie Aguirre.
September 2 question - Do you have a favorite character archetype you tend to gravitate toward in your writing?
If I were to come up with my favorite character type I'd have to say it is myself. My stories usually have been extensions of who I am or fantasize myself to be at any particular time. My stories are typically my stories. They read like an autobiography that might be deciphered if one knew the code.
Maybe eventually I'll write more so that I'll have to go beyond myself and into the lives of others. Or maybe I'll just write memoir.
Just so I write something. Anything.
I think we all draw from ourselves at least a bit when creating our stories.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is a little bit of ourselves in every story.
