Why did you sign up for the Backstory Email Series? What did you generally hope to get out of the experience? Was there any particular problem you wanted help with? *
In what ways did the first article (about the four different types of backstory: Stats, Surface Desires, Morality, and Psychological Factors) help you better understand your characters and what they need?
Did the Backstory Formula from the first article help you better understand how to write a COMPLETE character backstory? And if so, why? (If not, how can I make it better?)
What Aha! Moments did you discover while reading the second email and article that focused on how to write backstory into a scene without infodumping? Were any of these techniques new to you (and do you plan to use them)?
Did the question I proposed in the Unstick Your Story Draft article (the character's difficult late-story decision) seem useful for busting through writer's block? And how did it change the way you think about the character arcs in your stories?
In what ways did the Emotional Transformation Ladder in that same article (Unstick Your Story Draft) help you understand where the gaps in your current story (or writing process) may be?
