Figuring out back story vs main narrative for my protagonist, and how to use this advice from story supremo @johnyorkestory.bsky.social 'The less back story a character has, the more readily an audience is able to identify with [them].' I guess the important thing is *I* know their back story...

Have I moved somewhere where strangers really like to 'good morning' each other, OR am I now middle-aged enough to participate? Either way, here for it.

I thought a #creativewriting MA would mean using my brain, talking about ideas and making art. Turns out it's mostly managing other people's emotions and letting ourselves off the hook.

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs you to tell your truth through your words.

Your context-free comic book panel of the day.

A panel in grey and sepia of a man in closeup wearing a hat and with a mustache. He's pointing toward his face. Or perhaps he merely has a finger raised.

The challenge is working out what NOT to write about, because when it's too big, nothing gets written. Trying to chart a way through with lots of 'what if?' questions #ThisWritingLife
