It’s a little early to say that the holidays are coming up, even though that is technically true almost all of the time, but despite that I wanted to share an idea I had today for broke writers: write a character introduction for a loved one in their favorite genre style. Your best friend can be introduced in a gothic horror novel with special attention to their vulnerable neck, a parent in a mystery novel from the perspective of a very suspicious detective, a sibling in a high fantasy novel where they stumble through the trees at just the right moment to scare away a monster in a mass of jaw-dropping confusion. A paragraph or two should suffice, written or typed on red-splattered paper if appropriate and you’re feeling crafty. 

whoaaaaa what a great idea
