Dial In: Literary Live

A recording from Sandolore Sykes's live video

Cross-post from In the Inversion Field
I’ve invited six Substack writers to “call in” and share how they inhabit their characters and the visual landscapes of their fiction. -

Dial in answers from writers

, , , , and answering the following questions:

How do you get into your character? How do you inhabit them?

Do you wear them like a sock puppet? Like a rubber mask? Do you see through their eyes? Do you feel them in your body?

Or do you watch them from a distance, an omniscient perspective? A helicopter view? Are you outside of them like a ghost staring from 2 inches away?


How visual is your writing experience in fiction?

Do you wear them like a sock puppet? Like a rubber mask? Do you see through their eyes? Do you feel them in your body?

Or do you watch them from a distance, an omniscient perspective? A helicopter view? Are you outside of them like a ghost staring from 2 inches away?ting experience in fiction?

Do you see the rooms your characters play in? Are they created landscapes or are you recycling and borrowing rooms you’ve been in/ from films etc.

How well do you visually see and experience what your characters look like? Are they silhouettes? Full portraits?
