It's also a good time to think about what motivates your characters. All great characters are motivated by loss and fear of loss, from Charles Foster Kane and Rosebud to Harry Potter and his parents.
Ask yourself:
- What memories do your characters hold closest?
- Which do they try to forget?
- What losses have they faced in their life that shaped them?
- What do they fear to lose most?
Enjoy your parades and barbecues. Maybe enjoy an extra writing day! Remember and celebrate, and have a happy weekend.
