#Interiority

Like voice, interiority is one of those concepts I see many writers struggle with--or rather, they understand it, but don't know how to apply it to their own writing. Interiority helps your reader connect to the character, plot, and world through inner thoughts, emotions, reactions, and visceral responses. 5 notes about Interiority: 1. Interiority includes thoughts, emotions, reactions, and visceral responses. 2. You should use a combination of showing and telling to help the reader understand what is happening. 3. Interiority helps the reader connect to the POV character. 4. It also gives the reader details about plot and character through the lens of the POV character. 5. Interiority is needed in every POV type--yes, even omniscient! #writingtips #writetip #interiority #pov #writingpov #writingemotion #writingreactions #omniscient #firstperson #secondperson #thirdperson #readers #writingcommunity #writing #revpit #shapeyourstory #writerscraftroom

Hello! It’s that time of the week again so here’s my #ASKMEANYTHING video response to @readingforkeeps’s question on how to deepen interiority (with examples)? If you’re a writer, do you love writing interiority or hate it? Let me know in the comments 👇🏽 Thank you so much for your question (and sorry I couldn’t answer it very well in a 90 second reel 🤪🤪🤪). If anyone wants to chat more about this send me a DM - I’m always up for a chat about craft ✍🏽 #writingtips #interiority #innermonologue #title #noveltitle #thewomen #thealicenetwork #betareaders #writingcommunity #storystructure #authorlife #authorgram #amwriting #historicalfiction #writingcommunity #writersofinsta #writersofinstagram #historicalfiction #strongfemaleprotagonist #wordnerds #whatifyoufly? #secondworldwar #worldwartwo

Have you ever stopped to think what your characters might be thinking? 🤔 This week’s tips come from our blog post on interiority. Interiority refers to the narrative technique that reveals the inner life of point-of-view character. This means their thoughts, feelings, emotions and unspoken reactions. You always have to make a reader care and/or understand what a character’s motivations are, to ‘introduce’ them thoroughly to a character, and interiority is one of your greatest tools to do so. You will require a deep understanding of your character’s personality and background, remaining true to your character’s unique voice, and fears and motivations. The key to using interiority is balance. Too much interiority means that your character is doing too much thinking and there might not be enough action and dialogue, for example. You need those elements to keep a story going, and readers engaged. If you have too little, readers won't know what a character's motivations are, might not care at all about the character and may drop the story. On the other hand, too much interiority can also be a problem. If you have a character who wanders through a novel thinking all the time, you might find that your novel lacks pacing and action, becoming bogged down in thoughts or overly introspective. Balancing interiority with action and dialogue is crucial to maintaining narrative momentum and reader engagement or your novel could become let’s whisper the word: boring. So there’s a fine line to tread here. #writingcoach #writingtips #writingadvice #nownovel #storytelling #writinginspiration #amtryingtowrite #writingcommunity #writingtipsandtricks #writersgram #writingreels #writersjourney #writing #WritingWisdom#StorytellingMagic #WritingCommunity #CreativeJuicesFlowing #interiorityinfiction #interiority

Sitting curled up on my couch tonight, plugging away at my novel. Moving chapters around. Fleshing out sections that were mere outlines. Focussing on my protagonist’s inner experience. Her inner journey. It feels like keeping myself honest, in a way. I mean, anyone can write this happened, then that happened, then something else happened … but challenging myself to stay true to how all these “things that happen” affect my protagonist (a 15yo legend, if I do say so myself) is hard. And that’s a good thing! It slows me down, stops me taking the action for granted, makes me pause and think about what her experiences might feel like … which in the end is the only way to have future readers care about all the things that happen to her, right? What’s the book about? As @liliwilkinsonauthor might say, “young adult end of the world big feelings” (sorry if I’ve misquoted you Lili!). The protagonist is a young woman with a special skill that could save lives, but no one wants to listen to her. It’s a little bit dystopia, a little bit speculative, with a hard dash of young adult climate rage and feminist adventure. I’d tell you more, but you know, spoilers! Meanwhile I need to thank @christopher.lucy and @dbinks for sparking an inner deadline-style-focus this past week. Nothing I love more! Keep writing, friends! 💛 #writersofinstagram #author #loveozya #youngadultfiction #interiority

Things that fold and dive into themselves so that the outside becomes the inside, the outline becomes the in line. We are made of our environment. There is no difference between the outside and inside but of course there is...the exterior is not the same as the interior. #interiority #lineinart #deleuze #deleuzeandguattari #contemporaryart #womeninart #royalcollegeofart #modernart #artwoman #australianartist #londonartist #londonart #contemporarypainting #freegaza #ceasefirenow #womensupportingwomen #womeninart

To bloom is wonderfully expansive, so is allowing time to integrate, to rest and digest. The cycles of nature reflect back to us allowance, full permission to flow with our innate shedding, growth, hibernation, rebirth, blossoming process. “There is literally nothing in nature that blooms all year long, so do not expect yourself to do so.”- unknown With love and light 🤍 -Stacey Music by pixabay.com/camila_noir #rebirth #growth #blossom #interiority #nature #guidance #authenticity #inward #onwordjourneys

#So what happened to me on chamundi hill, that day is, Suddenly I did not know which is inside, which is outside. I actually if I sit here I experience everything as myself. It won’t make sense to you right now. But you can understand this much that right now there is something called inward and outward in your experience is that so? Let me tell you everything that’s ever happened to you happened only within you. Pain and pleasure happened within you, light and darkness happens within you, Agony and ecstasy happens within you. You have never ever experienced anything outside of yourself. But you are ignoring that and trying to live. Which is a foolish way to live. So inner engineering means, start engineering the #interiority because all the experience is happening from within. When everything is happening from within you are trying to fix everything in the world, your experience will not change. You changed suddenly the world looks different.
