Hi Rose!
Yes, anything to keep the people reading our work XD π
Yeah, I guess that’s a good thing! π
Well, I hope I can make Danny interesting. Β He isn’t really going to be as important a character in the first couple Elemental books, but I started writing a short story based on him (one that will be part of a compilation of many XD), and I’m honestly enjoying his depressed and broken mind and heart (please ignore how evil and terrible that sounds, LOL).
Oh my word that’s amazing XD If I told my brothers everything I’m doing to my characters, they would be like “you are a wicked witch,” or something along those lines XD I like writing imperfect characters too. I think writing a perfect person would be kind of boring, and even kind of hard because they can’t have a single flaw in anything they say and do. But flawed and issue-ridden characters are the best LOL. I can understand that.
True that (I don’t know why they’re all the same XD).
Haha thanks! π That sounds like a fun thing to incorporate in characters and their personalities.
Ooo, I’ll have to try out those outline sheets and organizational things and whatnot. Really what I’m doing right now is taping index cards on my wall with bullet points for the main things that are going to happen in each chapter and important characters that are introduced. I think that works okay, but then I get stuck trying to smoothly write out the chapter including all my bullet points. So I too get stuck a lot XD Thanks for the suggestions and recommendations!
This is gonna sound bad, but I don’t know what “pantsing” is, so I think I prefer plotting XD The plotting is really all I do on the index cards and in my head. Then it’s like a 50/50 chance I’ll actually keep it once I start writing it out LOL.
