Meet A Character Guided Meditation

CK Kochis

Episode #020

Cindy Kochis, Pen to Paper Press Podcast host

“The point is to weave the character’s personality and traits nonchalantly into the story. You want the reader to explore the character’s individuality versus reading a dating site description.”
– Cindy Kochis

How well do you know the characters in the book you are spending countless hours writing?

In this episode I take you on a journey to meet one of your characters through a guided meditation. Guided meditations are wonderful for quieting the mind and focusing on your internal messages.

We begin the guided meditation finding a bistro table in a safe setting. One of the characters in your written project approaches you and asks if they can join you. A conversation begins…

Knowing your character and the focal point of your story will help to prevent writer’s block, keep the story on track and prevent you from wandering down dead end roads as often. It will, in addition, help to keep their traits and personal identifiers consistent.

As mentioned in episode #013 Meet Your Character & Save Time Editing, personal identifiers consist of the detailed information you add to the story allowing the reader to envision the individuals and their enviornment.
