I swear, this whole thread is just a giant list of pop-culture references.

I’m all for it.

I was gonna try and think of something profound to say, but got distracted by @anne_the_noob14 s Mandolorian status.

This is the way.

Um. Anyways…

Where am I again?

@naiya-dyani Based on my own experience, there’s a strong chance the character is given to sharp extremes–of depression and happiness, selfishness and selflessness, openness and isolation–that they probably aren’t even fully aware of. But like Trall said, it also depends on the specific character.

@morreafirebird

Yes! The Stormlight series is terrific period, and all the characters are done terrifically.

@deeprun

I might as well just recommend Elantris while here, because one of the main characters, Sarene, is also a great female character who avoids both cliches of D.I.D. and D.O.D. and is instead extensively conplex and interesting.

Basically, Brandon Sanderson knows his stuff and is easily one of the best authors of our time. XD

@deeprun Mmm, I think you may be right! A blended mixture certainly sounds more interesting than either extreme.

Also, Brandon Sanderson wrote my favorite (non-Bible) book of all time, Elantris. His work is absolutely amazing.

@ericawordsmith Enneagram. Personality test just like MBTI, and just as good imo. Nailed me just as much, at least (4w5 + INFP ftw). Also… Sleeping at Last made an album about, which is now one of my favorite albums of all time, so. XD

I’m trying to pursue it this way, haha!

And I see. Very interesting. Hope it goes well for you. 🙂

@ericawordsmith …and a Four. :’D

Mmm, probably. Might need to do that then. I’ve really just been winging it in my mind–like always, heh–and it’s worked out so far. I think. XD

Define “normal” singing; and why can’t you sing that way–if you don’t mind me asking.

@ericawordsmith Piano would be great, especially since most of my songs have slower, sadder energies to them. Guitar (and drums!) are also classic foundations. But I have no training or skill in any instrumental area, so I just hope I can find and learn some online program–and/or friends who might be willing to contribute. XD

And very true–the lack of ability has not stunted my resolve for once.

@ericawordsmith

I’m not big on genre, whether listening or writing. 😀

I just… write it, as it comes. Naturally. And hope it works out. “Write with a rhythm, sing with a tune.”

And that’s awesome! You have the part I lack the most–the gift of singing. XD

@deeprun I actually just finished a book that is a great recommendation and answer to this.

Suggestion of the moment: Skyward/Starsight by Brandon Sanderson

First of all… these books are drop-dead amazing. ESPECIALLY Skyward. Both tell their stories expertly (’cause it’s Sanderson), but Skyward has a better story to tell, imo.

The main character is Spensa in both of these, and (wo)man, is she a fighter. But part of makes her interesting and complex and not just some D.O.D. is that her personality is found in her hard-work, her rebellious streak, her desires–she’s not powerful just because she’s a woman. Her character isn’t found in her gender, it’s in who she is as a person–even while she’s very good at what she does.

@ericawordsmith OH boy… XD

All I do anymore is songwriting. I’ve finished one album so far, and I’m working on my second! I also wrote one separately–so I guess it’s a single? I’m still looking at ways to try and make them real songs, though.
