Thursday Thirteen Questions About Writing
Hello everyone! It’s Thursday once again, meaning most of us are focused on the fact that tomorrow is Friday and not so much on the fact today is Thursday.
I know how it works.
Despite the the sounds of crickets surrounding my last Thursday Thirteen, I rather like asking you all questions about your writing and your work. So, today I’m going to continue on that track and ask you about your current work on progress.
You can answer any or all of the questions in the comments section or you can use the answers as your own Thursday Thirteen. If you decide to do the latter, be sure to let me know and link to it in the comments section.
1. What stage is your current WIP at? (Notes, first draft, editing, second/etc draft, submitting…)
2. What type of writing is it? (Short story, novel, poetry…)
3. What is the title?
4. If it is poetry, are you working on a single poem or is it a collection of poems?
5. If it is a story, is it fiction or non-fiction?
6. If it’s fiction, who is the main character?
7. Who is your favourite character?
8. Who is your least favourite character?
9. What is the setting?
10. What was your initial inspiration for what you are working on?
11. Do you know the ending already or are you ‘just along for the ride’?
12. What is the protagonist like?
13. What will the ‘back blurb’ sound like for your book?
The purpose of the meme is to get to know everyone who participates a little bit better every Thursday. Visiting fellow Thirteeners is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your Thirteen in others comments. It’s easy, and fun! Be sure to update your Thirteen with links that are left for you, as well! I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 13 things. Trackbacks, pings, comment links accepted!

Did you check the trash for comments? *g*
WIP — I’m 100+ pages in. Loving it. It’s more commercial fiction; that’s what I do. Yes, it involves a character in Riverview. Yes, you’ve met her on the blog. No, I won’t say more yet.
It’s too early to talk about cover copy, and that would give too much away if I did. Suffice it to say that there’s this woman named Linda Copperforth who is a most delicious antagonist and a Mad Bricker, who is a most mysterious antagonist. The Mad Bricker is only one secret in this manuscript…
Enough of that. Let’s go back to talking about Trevor. He’s the one I want to get in your hands first.

Yes, I do.
I’ve recovered many comments. I don’t do it every day, but I do it.
It’s great to get a sense of you still being so passionate about your WIP 100+ pages in.
