<\/span><\/h2>\nCharacter voice is the way a character speaks and acts. It’s a way to show the reader what a character is like, so you can use it to define your plot.<\/p>\n
For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- A character who reveals their true personality when they’re alone with another person, such as in an interview or confession room. This will help bring them closer together emotionally and build tension between them.<\/li>\n
- A character who keeps secrets from others (and sometimes even themselves) because they don’t want anyone else to know about something important (like their insecurities). This can lead them into situations where their secret could be revealed later on in the story.<\/li>\n
- Write your characters into situations they can’t get out of. You might have heard of the concept of inner conflict, which is a character’s struggle with their own motivations and beliefs. The more you can write your characters into situations where they’re stuck, the better.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/span>10. <\/strong>Set Attainable Goals For Yourself.<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\nThe first thing you need to do is set a baseline for your writing. If you\u2019re currently writing 2,000-2,500 words per day and want to increase that number by 500 each week, then define your goal and do your best to achieve them.<\/p>\n
However, if you only have time for 30 minutes of writing each day but would like to write more than 1,000 words in one sitting\u2014that\u2019s when setting attainable goals comes into play.<\/p>\n
Here are some examples of setting sustainable goals:<\/p>\n
\n- Write for 30 minutes straight every day for 10 days straight without fail.<\/li>\n
- Write 100 days straight without fail (and only take breaks when necessary)<\/li>\n
- Write 2,000 words per day for 15 days (and then take a break), etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
