I'm a big fan of Vinny from Vinesauce!

This week, I want to know: Have you ever had to say goodbye to a character, be it because of their death in the story, or their role in it having finished? How did you feel about it?

(from @tisiphonewolfe)

Okay this took me forever to answer, especially because I wasn't really sure how to answer this, but honestly it was right in front of me this whole time. 🤣

How far in advance do you know approximately what the final line of your WIP will be?

I always love your asks and appreciate them.. even though I am always late at answering them. 💛

So most of the time I have a vague idea on what happens in the ending. If I stick to the theme/idea then I would already have a vague idea on what the last line would be, but if I don't have an idea or it changes, it usually happens around close to the end of the novel.

As I get closer to finishing my current WIP's first draft, I'm having trouble dealing with the large amount of exposition I need to do before the end. Have you ever run into this problem? How did you deal with it? What's the best way to handle exposition, in your opinion?

(from @tisiphonewolfe)

Congratulations on being close to finishing your first draft! Good on you! I hope you have done so since it has taken me too long to answer this and I'm so sorry, just everything has kind of hit these last few months.

Not gonna lie, been writing for over 10 years and had to look up exposition just so I was right in what it is. I was mostly right.

Just for anyone who may not know what it is: exposition is a writing technique that shares and/or explains information of an event or backstory that took place prior (character's past or a war for two easy examples). It does not need to be only used in the beginning, but it will be present to build the settings and characters.

I'll be honest, since I work on first drafts, I try not to focus on the negatives until a later draft, since I've had a bad habit of deleting my whole WIP and starting over (my fantasy one especially). I will say that I do worry that my bits of worldbuilding in my fantasy WIP may come across as info dumping or too much unnecessary exposition.

I find that I try to weave it in the story naturally, such as in dialogue or the setting rather than straight up telling, and mainly focus on the purpose of the exposition.

Does it add anything to the story if it's in there and if I remove it would it change anything? Can I add this piece of information somewhere else in the story? Is the information natural to the story's flow?

I have attached two posts in the hopes that it might help anyone who might be struggling with exposition.

This week I'm continuing my quest to get to know people's OCs better!

If you had to pick an OC to represent each of the seven deadly sins, which OC would represent each, and why?

(from @tisiphonewolfe)

This was actually hard since no one in any story fits any 7 deadly sin to a tee, so I kind of just went for vibe. For the characters in my fantasy novel.

Seren: wrath

Kaie: Pride

Arden: lust

Emery: envy

Virgil: sloth
