Not so much during the story, but when Emcee runs into 20th century actress Meredith Braxton on a 27th century spaceship, she starts to realise that 1) Peregrine has other friends who have gone on whole crazy adventures with them, and 2) is also maybe dating one or more people???

Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters
Do you have any side characters with their own adventures going on in the background of your story?
Do we get many glimpses?
Is it in the same genre as your main work? E.g. romance in the background of horror?

12yo Emcee has a brown bob of unruly wavy hair, much like I had at that age
Her best friend Peregrine the shape-shifting time traveller, when in 12yo girl form, has perfectly straight long brown hair
I am very intentionally leaning into what I disliked

Here's an appearance one that I don't think we've talked about yet: What does your character's hair look like?
Do they have hair? Long or short? What color? How do they usually wear it? Is it important to them?

I think that external challenges are useful when it comes to prompts and sprinting for sure. It makes me actively think about things I otherwise wouldn't, and sprinting lets me actively shut out other distractions for the sake of the "deadline".

Co-writing with a friend helps keep me accountable and makes sure I spend time writing when I might have spent it goofing off instead. I don't think I would do long writing challenges again, but who knows?

I find external challenges extreeeemely helpful. Setting a tough but achievable goal for myself with a clear outcome is a big part of my productivity, and things like word goals really help. The trick is to know what's achievable, and what's too overwhelming 😅

Love most of these in theory, but in practice I’m an unreliable participant & they don’t work for me. I’ve learned not to commit myself to anything lest I let others down.
I don’t find prompts helpful because they seldom coincide with ideas which spark inspiration.

My answer to this #PretendPanel question is Yes and No. #Writing challenges can help you get "unstuck", but sticking religiously to challenges can be restrictive and unproductive. I use them as just another tool when I need some motivation and inspiration.

Daily prompts for 100 word pieces helped keep me doing a little writing every day when I felt completely drained. Sprints are hit or miss for me, but when they hit it’s a great help. Never really done a big month-long thing, and I know it likely wouldn’t work for me.

Writing sprints have been surprisingly helpful in forcing me to get stuff down and not be distracted. It's not always good, but it's SOMETHING.
This month was my first time doing a writeathon & it started off great, but fell off quickly. I think my style doesn't fit it well 😩

Most of them aren't useful to me due work and unpredictably of my ability to function. That said, I'm finding that very narrow scoped ones, like prompts, can be very useful for a "well, why not?"
Like fleshing out an ancient civilization or a wipsnip word making me write 250 words.

Depending on your closeness, I'd say be observant of their non-writing needs. There's so, so many stressors in modern life, and all that gets in the way of writing.
Paying attention to people's struggles and trying to reduce those burdens where possible is huge.
