Setting realistic goals is an important part of being a writer. Taking the time to map out a few (3-4 max for me) short and long term goals will help you stay motivated and on track.

Writing might be particularly helpful in increasing self-awareness because it can be practised daily. Rereading our writing can also give us a deeper insight into our thoughts, feelings, behaviour, and beliefs.

Normally, if what the character is saying or doing couldn't be given to one of the main characters. If they can't be combined or removed they need a name.
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
When do you consider a side character to have earned a name?
Is it when they speak a line of dialogue? Have a certain amount of importance to the story? When it is confusing to describe the scene otherwise?

In my creative zone, forming a unified structure.
Working through clutter one section at a time.
Streamlining for that smooth narrative harmony.
May life's passions enrich your day.

Current read.
If you’re into animal companions, classic feel fantasy, chosen-one tropes, betrayals, and characters who think they’re on the right side while actually fighting against it, then this book might just be your next favourite read.

What is a trait in your main character that they believe is bad but is actually valuable?

I love this quote from Toni Morrison. If there is a book you want to read but it hasn't been written yet, YOU must be the one to write it. I can honestly say...these are ALL my books. What about you? If you're a writer do you write the book you want to read? #writer #writers #tonimorrison

Focus on a vital few tasks. Identify the most important ones to you, and eliminate what is not needed or urgent. The goal is to make them manageble, not to achieve perfection or overwhelm yourself.
Have a great writing day, everyone.

Immersed in my creative zone this morning. Pruning and keeping in harmony with WIP.
Be astonished and write what intrigues. May the week be filled with good moments and bold storytelling
