EP 206: Are you writing for escapism? Tips for not letting that show
Today, host Fortunus Games and co-host R.N. Roveleh list 10 tips for determining whether you're writing for escapism. This is an important topic because I think all of us have struggled to balance escapism and writing.
Our 10 tips are:
- Does your story have a structure or is it just brainstorming?
- Is your story structured around a theme or themes?
- Is your protagonist yourself?
- Is their love interest idealized?
- Are you writing only what you know?
- Are you avoiding topics that need research?
- Is your writing avoiding subjects that you don't want to think about?
- Are you trying to improve your writing?
- Would you read this book (if the characters/setting were different)?
- Think carefully: what is your main goal when you write?
