Todd Gallowglas on 7/19/2019 7:10:06 PM<br /> <div class="asl-wikipage-summary"> <p>Writing is informed by more than&nbsp;the simple&nbsp;act of sitting down and putting words on a page. We get ideas in our everyday lives. We also learn how to write and tell stories through things we do at work and things we do at play. Writer, critic, and educator M. Todd Gallowglas shares how gaming and role play games (RPGs) have informed his approach to writing novels. For example, one of the fun (and frustrating) aspects of RPGs for Gallowglas is the unpredictability that comes when individual players have agency, changing the direction of the story. In novel writing, it&#39;s easy for a character-driven story to take on a life of its own. Allowing your characters to make some decisions can result in&nbsp;a fun, dynamic writing process.

Todd Gallowglas on 7/19/2019 1:04:10 PM<br /> <div class="asl-wikipage-summary"> <p>Writing is informed by more than simply the act of sitting down and putting words on a page. We get ideas in our everyday lives. We also learn how to write and to tell stories through things we do at work and things we do to play. For example, M. Todd Gallowglas explains the aspects that are similar when hosting a role playing game (RPGs) and writing a novel. For example, one of the fun and frustrating aspects of RPGs is the unpredictability that comes when individual players have agency. In the same way, an author is telling a story that is character-driven and therefore can take on a life of its own. He&rsquo;s not interested in a debate about whether or not an author makes decisions or a character makes decisions for them. He has a theory that combines both of those ideas and allows for a fun, dynamic writing process.
