#StoryWarriors – The Frozen Maze

During the last few months, I’ve partecipated in a few challenges on Twitter, all focused on my WIPs. It was fun and since I’m working on all this stories (one way or another) I though I’d share.

#StoryWarriors was the first. Hosted by Mollie E. Reeder, it invites authors to speak about two characters in a WIP.
I chose Grete and Ingeborg, from The Frozen Maze. And I noticed something: Grete’s parts seems to be more interesting. Which is good for her, but not for Ingeborg, who’s the MC. So I suppose I have to give some more attition to Ingeborg.

I must ask a favour off you. Twitter isn’t the best writing platform. I wrote some of these tweets on the go, in between tasks, sometimes on the phone on the train to work. This to say… there are a few mistakes sprinkled over them… errr…
Just pretend they are not there.

During the month someone came up with the idea to share our first line and then our last line. It’s always fun to share these, and since these are so important in the economy of a story, if you’d commented on them it woudl be of great help for me.

Of course, belonging toa first draft, they are unlikely to stay untuched in the final version. One more reason the hear what you think abotu them!

    This is really interesting, Sarah! I love the way you show what your characters are like, just based on their backstories and the things they have and so on. What a fascinating meme!

      It was really fun. And it was useful.
      There are always meme of this kind on Twitter, the hard part is finding them. I usually stumble upon them by mere chance 😉

    This is very interesting with the setting from the A to Z Challenge you did. I love the pics you chose and know them well.

      I took part to this meme before I wrote the challenge and I have to say the challenge really helped me to pin down a few plotpoint and characters’ development.

    Looking at your characters in this way has to help develop and deepen them – and your novel. I use a similar approach, although I’m not so brave to share at an early stage.

      LOL! I may share ideas about my stories and character.
      Now, first drafts… those are completely different beasts, which are better kept locked up 😉
