The main character in my current wip has two motivations, the one they know about and the other they really need to do: rescue their friends from bad things and not settle for a job they hate so much they numb themselves with booze and other vices.
Another good question from @the-wip-project on day 10 of this challenge.
1) how does a character react when a friend claims that their pet passion project actually belongs to the company they work for because it was created during company time?
2) what if the tower on an island in the river by my house became the only above water structure in this area by the end of the century?

Q64: How do you start writing a new story?
My answer: usually, an idea comes to me when I least expect it, e.g., in the shower, while driving, just before I fall asleep. To take an idea from a day dream to an actual story, I jot down some notes about the idea. The next step for me is to think about who would be an interesting character to have in the story. Are their any tropes I can spin on their head with this character? Then I write a short dialogue between two characters who are discussing the story I want to write. If the idea and story still interest me, I write it :)
Fanfiction Club: The Rules
This idea came to me when I woke up first thing this morning.

Q80: How do you feel about your old works? And bonus homework: say something nice about past-writer-you.
A80: Some are really good others not so great.
Bonus: Past writer me was prolific. Too bad I didn’t finish some of those stories!
