\"Add<\/a>Let’s welcome back LA Bourgeois<\/a> as she shares with us \u201cAdd a Goblin: A Writing Exercise.\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Have a scene that\u2019s feeling stale?<\/strong> A character that\u2019s stagnated? Don\u2019t know how to write yourself out of that corner you\u2019ve created?<\/span><\/p>\n

Add a Goblin\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Goblins are little agents of chaos.<\/span><\/p>\n

These funny-looking creatures exude both a scary and a cute vibe<\/strong>, moving with a sketchy abandon. Their favorite pastimes include breaking important objects, losing essential items, and screaming nonsense at random passers-by.<\/span><\/p>\n

This character embraces the ideal of being a danger to himself and others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively<\/strong>, you can think of the goblin as the id of your character. The id, from Freudian psychoanalytic theory, is the instinctive part of you.<\/span><\/p>\n

(There is also the ego and the superego, which deal with self and morality respectively.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Think of the id as the little devil leaning into your ear and tickling the skin with the breathy temptations of the sweet evils you can deliver upon humanity.<\/span><\/p>\n

And that\u2019s just what you need for your stalled storyline.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Splashing pandemonium across your writing pushes your imagination to think of your characters, your scene, and your plot in a novel way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s How to Add a Goblin\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Make a copy of the scene to be goblin-ified. <\/span>Never <\/span><\/i>work with the original.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This exercise breaks the scene and opens your mind at the same time.<\/strong> While you will probably end up wanting to incorporate some ideas from this exercise, you will not want to make all of these changes permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making a copy allows you some peace of mind as you loose your goblin amongst the good(ish?) people of your tale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, add your goblin to the mix.<\/strong> You might choose to incorporate a real goblin or a paranormal creature menacing the charming town you\u2019ve created.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Or maybe your goblin is just a voice in the head of your main character, encouraging her to sleep with her sister\u2019s husband or give an imperious speech about the values of temperance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Or maybe an invisible goblin has scampered around the room<\/strong>, hiding keys and leaving shoes on the floor for the characters to trip over, turning the entire dramatic scene into a slapstick farce.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s your goblin. Let it run free!<\/span><\/p>\n

Analyze the Aftermath<\/span><\/h2>\n

When your goblin has absolutely destroyed everything, wait a day and then read through what you\u2019ve written.<\/span><\/p>\n

See what new values and traits your characters revealed when thrown into this chaos<\/strong>. Pluck interesting changes out of the wreckage. Salvage the ideas that work and send the rest to the junkyard.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each scene of your story needs to push your tale forward. When stuck, adding a goblin to a scene breaks your story wide open.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ideas that you resisted become easily accessed by goblin-phone.<\/strong> Your goblin demonstrates how to be evil to your main character, giving them challenges to overcome and unusual solutions to their problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding a goblin to your scene is a fun and feral way to play with your writing. Enjoy! <\/span><\/p>\n
