Monologue

Sometimes our writing flow doesn’t flow. What’s causing this and how do we get it moving again?

Consume: Magnus Archives podcast

Create: Pick a job. Write a 200-400 word monologue for someone in that job, directed to their customers or constituency. Use your writing to set the tone for that relationship. Give it a beginning, middle and end, and make sure it reveals something about that character: they make a choice with consequences, they expose a secret, etc.
