Lots of good stuff here: make a list of things you like in other people’s work, write down 50 first sentences, etc.

Letters to Fictional Characters

Reblogged from synecdoche May 13, 2010

synecdoche:

Harper Perennial invites you to participate in its Letters With Character campaign, and to write a letter to a fictional character. The letters can be funny, sad, demanding, fanciful, declarative, or trivial. They can be about a novel, a short story, or a children’s book, works both literary or popular. There is only one requirement: They must be written by a real person and must also address an unreal one.

The best, most interesting, strangest, and most moving letters will be collected on LettersWithCharacter.blogspot.com. Visit the site to see a selection of those that have already been written: a romantic appeal to Captain Ahab, a moving consideration of middle age addressed to a Garcia Marquez heroine, a hilarious challenge to Agatha Christie’s famed detective Hercule Poirot.

i’m going to write so many love letters to patrick bateman.
