YES! So excited! Quick question @brandon-miller: do we just introduce our character in a scene before the crash AND give a couple of details like last time (age, build, background, etc.) or just do the scene?

How does one create believable personality in characters?

I’m one of those types of people (as I am sure many of you are as well) that study people. You know, observe everything about them and can come to a pretty good conclusion of their basic personality within a few minutes. Through the past years that I have studied people, I’ve come across…[Read more]

This was so good! It caused me to take a step back and see how I can better prioritize writing in my busy life.

This is by far some of my better writing as it flowed really well and I’ve gotten better over the course of the last year and a half. Hope you enjoy it and I’ll appreciate your…[Read more]
