Hey #WritingCommunity

I started a new story several weeks ago. As an aside, I'm really going to finish a story someday, and not just get 75% done and run out of steam.

Anyway, the current #WIP deals with reincarnation. I haven't taken part in any of the writing games, like #WritingWonders because I couldn't figure out how to answer any of the questions. My MC is literally dozens of people spread across millennia.

How do I answer a question like "Is MC good at flirting?" Are we talking about the cavewoman, or the six year old girl in Detroit, or the rice farmer in medieval Japan who became a young widower? All of them are the MC.

Or a question about nice areas to visit. Should I be answering that question for the paleolithic Fertile Crescent or the colony ship to Alpha Centauri?

So, I decided I'm going to start taking part next month again (or, maybe I'll just jump in in the middle), and just pick a character and setting for each question. It might even give me some ideas for additional settings and incarnations.

@danjones000 some people with Multiple WIPs or MCs give a line for each. May be an option to consider as well.

@danjones000 I have a #WIP that has seven POV characters, so I know what you're talking about! When I read the question for one of the prompt games, I just kindof pick the character who I feel gives the most interesting answer. Or just anyone I actually *have* an answer for. That's also how I pick between my two novels in progress. It's been a lot of Ash lately from the one novel, but I slip in the other novel's MCs when I'm feeling it.
