Best of Write with Fey for 2014

I love to create mashups of my best posts for the year. It’s neat to see which ones received a bigger response, because you can never tell these things when you’re writing them. I also like to share these best posts again for anyone who might’ve missed them the first time around.

So here are the TOP TEN posts from Write with Fey this year:
1.    Writing About: A Character with a Disease or Disability
     Writing About: Personality and Psychological Disorders
These two posts were the most challenging to write, but I’m glad I did it because the topics are so important, and when you’re writing about characters with a disease, disability, or disorder it’s essential to get it right.
2.    Writing About: A Car Accident
I was happy that this post received a lot of comments and that many said they wanted to write a car accident scene because of it. :)
3.    How to Create a Heroine of Steel
I couldn’t wait to share this post, because heroine’s of steel are my favorite heroines to write about. There are 25 things in this post to help writers create such a heroine.
4.    Writing is Hard
Here is a post I was surprised to receive such great feedback for.
5.    The Mob
This post is the most different post I’ve ever done for a specific type of character, because I had to cover things like crime, guns, and victims.
6.    Vampires
I never thought I would share a post about vampires, but ten years ago I never thought I’d write about vampire characters. Plus, mortals can’t get enough of vampires.
7.    A Character’s Past Life
In this post I provide a list of ways writers can use a character’s past life in their story. And I was thrilled that everyone answered my question about whether or not they believed in reincarnation.
8.    Your Character’s Toughest Moment
This is another post that received wonderful replies. I believe that you have to let bad things happen to your character to make your story real.
9.    Writing About: Weddings
I enjoyed writing this post almost as much as I enjoyed writing actual wedding scenes.
10. Writing About: Florida
In this post, I discuss the characteristics that make the Sunshine State unique for anyone who might want to write a story set in Florida.
