Let us step into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure. ~J. K. Rowling
"Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go." ~Lewis Carroll from Alice in Wonderland |

What is it that leads us to new adventures? What do you do for the sake of your stories? There are many ideas of what might be interesting in a story but a person would never actually do if given a chance.
How would you react to your worst fears? How do you react when you get everything you want?
Every piece might become something that ought to be within the story. Sure, your main character is afraid of snakes but you keep one as a pet. Your fascination with how it moves becomes the very thing that creeps the character - and the reader - into not sleeping.
Take delight in those shiny things, too, though you may never be able to describe a spider with loving detail. I'm not sure why, because the darn things are pretty cool.
It's a feeling that drags us into that place with our characters. It's the depth of what they've experienced that will drag the readers by their throats instead of simply tugging them by the hands.
As writers, we live adventures within our heads and hearts, and we translate them into words to share. These words will come through the best if we've experienced something from ourselves. Live, and allow your characters to experience your adventures with their own. |

An incredibly short story with a bit of a different take on a realistic superhero.

Good luck.

Great advice to those who need writing structure in their life. This is a way to keep writing. I've taken a bit of a break while waiting for my book to be published. I read a writing magazine that has me rethinking a past MS. Thanks for the push.
Pushing is good. Stretching is good. You can do it.
