Here's a bit of a transcript or breakdown of the discussion. Please feel free to quote and share your feedback and thoughts.
Fiction, Fantasy, mermaids, and practicing writing in new ways or in expressing yourself in a different genre
Experiencing new actions, bicycling adventures, and interests to clarify your first person narrative or correct your point of view
Historical Fiction expectations, using the correct dialogue or accents for the right characters, getting your details and facts straight
Painters, third person viewpoints, keeping POV consistent, head hopping no nos, alien or robot and they or their non-binary pronouns
Getting the story out before worrying about point of view and structure is easier said than done
Steamy Firefighters, Realistic Fiction details, true to life experiences, keeping details even in fantasy world building, toeing the line with exposition
Experiencing the facts to write them down, interviewing experts, taking classes, and doing research
Corrections and attention to detail to gain reader trust
Protagonists, Antagonists, antiheroes, giving into preconceived notions or opposing standards, building redemption arcs, and the good or bad reasons why
Direct Characterization versus Indirect Characterization to build character development for humor or horror in bad hospital experiences
Lumberjacks, paragraph structure, prose rhythm, poetry, and rhymes to effect writing format, vocabulary, and unique words
Avoiding cliche descriptions and exposition in who, what, when, where, and why
Sentence structure, diagramming (I wish!
), and reading everything out loud
Simplicity, know your audience, don't talk down to your reader
Whew!
