Just to throw in another few cents to the conversation:

There’s a difference between being honourable in your own eyes and the eyes of everyone else. So an INFJ might not be doing something particularly ethical in the eyes of society/God/readers, but if they can justify their actions as having purpose (e.g. for the sake of a suffering sister), t…[Read more]

Snort, puff, and clucked are popping into my mind but I agree, it is quite a clunky exchange to describe, especially if you don’t want to use ‘grunt’.

Hello! I’m also from Ireland 🙂 Great to have you!

Ooh I could actually contribute to this!

I’m an INFJ so I’m just going to answer from experience more so than psychological knowledge. I tend to avoid most conflict, BUT if something or someone I care deeply about is challenged, I do consider it my duty to act.

So for your character I could imagine it be the same; his general demeanour might be…[Read more]

I have a question somewhat related to representation.

What’s the best way to write about a disabled character as an able-bodied person?

I’ve heard mixed views on this. Some people think it’s best not to write a disabled MC if you yourself don’t have that disability. Others say that representation is the most important thing, and that with the…[Read more]

I might just end up repeating what’s been said before but this is a great question so here’s my take:

As mentioned, we are made in God’s image, unlike any other living thing. Therefore, we reflect certain characteristics of God, that are unique to humans among all creation. We love (not just for the benefit of ourselves or our species but for…[Read more]

I’m 23 🙂

This is such an interesting (and important!) discussion.

I am a massive proponent for representation and diversity and to be honest I think it’s ridiculous that we’re now in 2020 and it’s still noteworthy if a character is ‘diverse.’ At the same time, I do agree with what’s already been said about forced diversity – both that it is a good means…[Read more]

Hello! *shy wave* I’m still knocking about, though feeling like a fraud 😶🙃😳.

November has been rouuuugghhh guys. Like just the most crazy month of the year (which is saying a lot; I finished my undergrad this year lol). Anyways, it’s been a wild ride and sadly my Nano has suffered for it. So, I’m here to cheer you guys on (because WOW you’re a…[Read more]

Oh I’ve definitely experienced being afraid to show people my writing! Very few people even know I write to be honest, I just don’t like people knowing about it and then asking questions that I don’t want to answer haha. I feel like writing is such a personal activity for me and it’s something I’ve always been in the habit of…[Read more]

Oh sorry @jenwriter17 I didn’t know you were in college! Guess there’s a few of us so 😊😄

@shadowwriter161 Ooh I’m glad it came up accurate! It can be a very good way of delving a little deeper into character mindsets. It does take quite a long time though, haha and I am very easily bored so I’ve only done it for my main characters before.

Also, I wanted to mention something in response to your original question about a checklist of…[Read more]
