Family Dynamics

June 25, 2008 | 1 Comment

I’ve been writing a lot of background stuff lately for the Berger world. Not really anything that’s publishable, just stories. The little histories that make up people and the world they live in. Those family stories you tell with a laugh or maybe a sense of pride. Of course this is all fictional, but it’s good exercise to see how families interact and change over time.

Maybe I’ll go a completly different direction for nanowrimo this year and write some quiet domestic story instead of my usual action stuff. Of course even my most adrenaline fueled story is really about people.

It’s hard to explain without sounding half-crazy, but in my experience after you work with a character for a while they tend to take on a life of their own. So it might be interesting to just create a fairly normal family, add a pinch of drama and see if I can write it.
