Every character thinks they are the main character ... this was definitely a lightbulb moment for me! Thanks for sharing your tips and knowledge :)

I wrote half of a novel while sitting in my car during breaks at work. It was surprisingly efficient--no one to distract me, music if I chose, and a limited amount of time to get as much written as possible before I had to clock back in.

The part after 1:12 just gave me a major perspective shift on approaching writing characters inside a world.

The "every character is their own main character" idea is very insightful! I've always had trouble making side characters interesting in my writing and now I know it's because I wrote them as tools and not people with their own intentions and conflicts.

"Would the reader be excited to read the next chapter?" Is my best writing question.

His excitement for writing is radiating off him, it’s really inspiring because although writing is difficult it’s the most rewarding experience

"Writing is a series of questions." I like that process. Asking questions about your character's goal, origins, mentality, action, non-action, social-climate, and so on. A great way to establish strong character writing for every moment & scene.

I feel better about my skills as a writer since the story I'm writing does answer all six questions. Yay me!!

I never thought of writing a front desk clerk as someone that thinks they are the main character, but we see these people written all the time as though they only exist to serve the needs of the customer.

His point about everyone finding their own process is SPOT ON. The thing I liked least about my creative writing courses in college (it was my major, so I had many) was that every instructor seemed to assert that THEIR process was THE process, and everything else was bound to fail. (Even Stephen King falls into this trap when he insists that writers should never outline a story. I love King's work, but even some of his novels would have benefitted from a bit more preplanning.) Learning your OWN process is the only way to go.
