Oh well, Merry Christmas!
Here is day ten, for you crazy writing enthusiasts!
Today let's slow it down. Too often we rush the best parts. Sit down with your character. Just you and your main character (or a character that you want to know better) and have a pint of beer, a martini, or a cup of coffee with her. Ask whatever questions you want, describe the character's every detail you see, and --as if you were a journalist-- ask some hard questions and then just sit back and listen and record. What you learn might surprise you!
(To "holiday" this up add a little spiced rum or brandy to the eggnog!)
