March 31, 2021 at 12:36 am #96509Your definitely not the only one:) It’s just the most fun thing ever!!
Ooh, I love those too! Hmm, my favorites are probably arguments, plot twists, and oh yes! I love acting out fight scenes also, (although most of mine is sword fighting XD ).March 31, 2021 at 12:39 am #96510Aw, thanks:) Yep, I have almost everything in my story (sorta) organized except for the main plot, *sigh* I’m glad I’m not alone in this:)

March 31, 2021 at 6:10 pm #96528@joy-caroline Hehe, thanks π He’s a filmmaker, so in addition to getting to talk about my stories, I get to hear all his neat idea for films too π (It’s win-win, you see.)
Oooh, that’s all so cool!! Also hey, I know we haven’t really talked a bunch, but I’ve really enjoyed seeing you post about your Biblical fiction stories–it’s very inspiring!! I’ve been amazed at how you’ve been able to humanize people that are so famous they’re almost abstractions at this point.
(And thanks!! It’s one of my fav quotes. :D)

*puts hand over heart* That’s adorable.
Aww, thank you so much! That means a lot to me, because it’s exactly my goal to paint them as flesh and blood.
April 1, 2021 at 1:35 pm #96577@lewilliams For coming up with story ideas, I pull inspiration from everywhere and piece things together to fit the way I like it (if that makes sense XDπ). Also, since I create characters first, I’ll often change up the scenarios for each character. Like, maybe with one character the boy lives with his stepfather, while with another character the boy lives with his stepmother (and more variety of course π).

Fall in love with JesusApril 1, 2021 at 6:36 pm #96600@joy-caroline Of course!! If that’s your goal, you’re definitely succeeding. π
@mkfairygirl Oh that makes perfect sense!! And very cool, at that π Oooh, what’s your character creation process like? I’m curious now πβSeven seconds till the end. Time enough for you. Perhaps. But what will you do with it?β
April 6, 2021 at 4:54 pm #96830@lewilliams Thank you!!!!! π Awesome question!!!!π I love creating characters! First I try to determine their family relationships (who they live with, how many siblings they have, how often they see other relatives, etc.). This helps me get a good understanding of my character. Then after that I play around with personality and interests which helps me figure out what the characters want or how they might get it. What’s your character creation process like? π
