That person is your mentor. Some excerises that might be helpful: 1. Write down all the ways that person has helped you. Try to think of which time was the most powerful to you. How can you replicate that for your character? 2.write down all the traits that special someone has or the things they do that make them help you so much. Can you give similar qualities to your mentor? 3. Ask the mentor themselves why they think they have been able to influence you and others for the good so much.

If you don’t have such a person in your life, you can study real life mentors such as Tony Robbins ( watch the Netflix documentary Tony Robbins I am not your guro.its incredibly powrful) or fictional ones like dumoldure.

Let me know if you used this trick and what you thought if it.Have a awesome night.😴

Getting ready for a podcast/webisode recording for Middle Grade Ninja tonight. This will be my second-ever podcast. 🖤 My first ever is up currently with Writers After Dark. It’s the interview where I was asked the notorious question, “Is SMALL TOWN MONSTERS your first novel?” Um, no. See how I handled it: https://www.writersafterdark.com. 🖤 Writers can’t decide how and when readers find us. But hopefully they do, and hopefully podcasts like these help. 🖤 I know I’m a huge fan of publishing podcasts. I listen to Print Run, @writeordiepodcast, and @DeadlineCity regularly. What do you listen to? #smalltownmonstersbook 🖤 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #bookaholic #YA #youngadult #YAnovel #horrorstories #Latinx #booklovers #authorsofinstragram #horrornovel #YAhorrornovel #ireadYA #bibliophile #bookstagrammer #booknerd #storyteller #authorlife #bookaddict #bibliophile #writing #instawriters #writinglife #authorsofig #writingtips #writingadvice #aspiringauthor #dailywritingposts #dailywritingtips #podcast #podcastersofinstagram #podcasts https://www.instagram.com/p/CU8knrnraSQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Wordplay

Looking for the right words, I ended up DailyWritingTips website. The topic was racking or wracking.

I particularly love Qrystal (one commenter’s) reply:

I was racking my brain to figure out whether I was wracking or racking my brain and found myself glad I didn’t wrack it.

First Line Tag

I was tagged by @munificence-maleficence Thanks for the tag!! ^_^

Rules: Post the first line of your WIP (or a line you’re particularly proud of) without context, then tag as many people as there are words in the line–or until you run out of people to tag if it’s long. If you don’t have a WIP, share a line from one of your favorite books. The line I’m proud of from Dangerous Admirer Prologue!

His draconian mind tried to deny his utopian heart.
