And even if he is too poor to give you any of them, it won't matter because he will have taken the time to know you as no one else does. Only that boy earns your heart."

Introduce something into the lives of your characters that your audience will find funny or interesting, but which isn't directly related to the characters primary focus and interactions.

As example, someone famous in wrestling circles and used to fans knowing who they are finds themselves a bit of a fish out of water when they try something different, maybe fishing and are not recognized. Their likely will be enough of your audience interested in fishing and that they will get a chuckle when the read about someone they know in one sphere as being very knowledgeable and successful making newbe mistakes, learning to appreciated the knowledge people half their size and possibly both younger and older have and are portrayed as a bit more human, something it is my understanding that many celebrities struggle with as they feel a disconnect between how they feel about themselves (being inside just a regular person with some specific skills trying to get by, not get hurt and have a good life) while being tempted and challenged by the extra goodies which can sidetrack them which are often associated with celebrity.

Free write as in "wild mind" about anything, even include your characters doing anything, even something ridiculous, then perhaps your characters will let you know what's going on in the story....and have fun.

~ Studio97:

 

“Wild mind” writing unshackles the psyche.

Having fun with characters in improbable settings tends to pulverize writer's block...or...at minimum, gently dissipate it.

Thank you for the great suggestion.

Try the Morning Pages approach. Kinda like "wild mind" with a bit of structure.

Add lightness and simplicate.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
