The official topic for today is about writing our characters. How we build them and flesh them out. Since I don't do either, my characters tell me who they are, not the other way way around, I decided to do a reflections post on another challenge I did this year -- AtoZ in April.
Reflecting on the 2020 challenge one word came to mind -- DIFFICULTY. Besides the difficulty in matching a topic to a letter (more on that later), the short time frame that required a post a day was an additional complication. And since I did the 2019 AtoZChallenge I didn't want to duplicate last year's posts. Then there was the world event called Covid-19 or the novel corona virus. It made focusing impossible, stole the energy to write, and chased the muse away.
The theme for the challenge mirrored what I use for this blog--the characters and settings of my novels with a touch of the writing life tossed in for variety.
The full list of posts from the challenge follows. I hope you'll find a topic or two of interest. ~till next time, Helen

Helen, how interesting! Thanks for this.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this, Helen. Your rule about not killing a main character resonated with me. I'm still not over the ordeal of Game of Thrones!
