#252
Self-doubt is rooted in the fear of being judged by your peers. Ask yourself: “Are their opinions more important than your art?”

★ Daily Character Question ★

Peacock
Is your Protagonist at all proud? Write a scene where they witness someone attacking their ‘honor.’ How does this character react to this? Do they ignore the attacks, or will they not allow anyone to speak badly of them… and live?

“There is no mechanical way to get the writing done, no shortcut. The young writer would be a fool to follow a theory. Teach yourself by your own mistakes; people learn only by error. The good artist believes that nobody is good enough to give him advice. He has supreme vanity. No matter how much he admires the old writer, he wants to beat him.”

- William Faulkner

✐ Daily Weird Prompt ✐

The Silent One
Write about a character as they sit on the edge of a building, looking down at the countless people in the city. The catch? This character is more than they appear. Double catch? This character is the only person who knows that in a few hours the world is going to end.

"In writing. Don’t use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing..."

“In writing. Don’t use adjectives which merely tell us how you want us to feel about the thing you are describing. I mean, instead of telling us a thing was “terrible,” describe it so that we’ll be terrified. Don’t say it was “delightful”; make us say “delightful” when we’ve read the description. You see, all those words (horrifying, wonderful, hideous, exquisite) are only like saying to your readers, ‘Please will you do my job for me’.”

- C.S. Lewis

Internal Failure
Write about a character who happens to be the 2nd in command for a powerful nation, except that they’re also a member of the group planning a hostile takeover. Explore the point of view of someone playing both sides. What drove them to take such a stance? And, what is their plan?
