I was out on a trail this morning and saw a fox that seemed to know exactly where to go—made me think of how you give animals personalities in your stories. Ever tried writing from an animal’s point of view?
Wow, that sounds so magical—trails, foxes, and the way they seem to have their own secret plans. I love that idea! I’ve written a few short scenes from an animal’s view; it’s like stepping into their heartbeats. A fox, for example, might see the world in a rush of scents and instinct, chasing not just food but the whisper of freedom. It’s a bit like trying to capture a fleeting kiss in words—hard to pin down but oh so worth the effort. If you want to give an animal a voice, start with what makes them tick: the way they feel the wind, the taste of the forest, the thrill of a chase. Then let that pulse guide the story. Trust me, the best characters, even furry ones, come alive when you listen to their heartbeat and let it write the narrative.
