WRITING HELP // inspiration, ideas, and more!

Things you should know about each of your characters.

These are what I would consider to be the most basic, bare-bones questions of character creation.

  • What would completely break your character?
  • What was the best thing in your character’s life?
  • What was the worst thing in your character’s life?
  • What seemingly insignificant memories stuck with your character?
  • Does your character work so that they can support their hobbies or use their hobbies as a way of filling up the time they aren’t working?
  • What is your character reluctant to tell people?
  • How does your character feel about ?
  • How many friends does your character have?
  • How many friends does your character want?
  • What would your character make a scene in public about?
  • What would your character give their life for?
  • What are your character’s major flaws?
  • What does your character pretend or try to care about?
  • How does the image your character tries to project differ from the image they actually project?
  • What is your character afraid of?
  • What is something most people in your setting do that your character things is dumb?
  • Where would your character fall on a politeness/rudeness scale?

Chapter 4: Very interesting. I used to write fan fiction stories before I went to college, but after I graduated, my brain pretty much deteriorated. I can't write a story to save my life. I have to start looking for inspiration from places and I decided to look on AFF. This is a pretty cool group. I like most of the ideas on here. Who knows, I might be able to come up with something.

Chapter 95: For a writer tips, could you do one with verbs of "said"? Do you get me? I think that would be really useful.

Chapter 8: Yo! Hi there. I was just browsing on through and I really like the idea of this plot right here. Like I can already imagine what I would want to do with it and who I’d want to use. Don’t think I’d plan on putting it up anytime soon tho, but definitely want to make a story with this sometime in the future! So would that be cool with you? Because I wanna get your permission to so I can start planning and working on it soon and be ready by the time I do actually wanna post it. If yes, I’ve got a question; is it okay if I change the title? Since I’ve already came up with another one I like more.
