mithen--What wakes your most recent POV character in the middle of the night?
Oh, this question makes me realize that I actually used an omniscient POV for my most recent story, so it's unanswerable! The POV is kind of... the people in a town who are about to get fleeced by a group of traveling con men, so I guess what keeps them up at night is the suspicion that maybe, just maybe, those guys weren't all they had appeared to be...
Writing is... slow? At least it's not non-existent? I've got a possibility of an opportunity for getting my non-fiction writing to a larger audience that could be really exciting but also could be really stressful, and I'm trying not to think about it until it actually moves forward a couple of steps from "hey, would you be interested in this project? Maybe I'll pitch it to my bosses." May your writing be smooth and all your opportunities be non-stressful! (is that possible? Is stress part of every opportunity?)
