Writing can be a visual experience, and writers often have vivid imaginations, immersing themselves in the made-up worlds of their characters, settings and situations they have created. Some writers talk to their characters and for the duration of the creation of the piece they are writing, their characters become real to them and can often take over scenes.
It’s the greatest feeling when the writing is going well, the characters are behaving and the words are flowing, but what happens when there’s a sudden spoke in the wheel of your writing chariot? Your character has got to a certain stage in proceedings but they become stuck, unable to move forward and unsure of what happens next. It’s one of the most frustrating aspects of the writing process and something your writing group can help you with.
