– getting/giving positive feedback if solicited

What we’re not doing

– any kind of shaming about topics or anything like that

Optional discussion topic: Plot vs Characters

What comes first when you’re inspired to write? Do you think about characters and then try to find a situation to put them in, or do you think of a situation and then put characters in it? Or something else entirely?

Or, as always, just talk about anything you want on the topic of writing. How’s it going?
