Oh perfect, @bluejay, perfect! 😛
@Daeus— great. 🙂 😉 🙂 😉 🙂 😉 🙂 😉 😛 😉
And thank you, @writefury, @hope, and @bluejay. All of those are very good suggestions. And I do that too, @hope— the contradictions thing. 🙂 I didn’t use to do it as much, but now I do, and it’s crazy fun. -

There you go @daeus. That is the best I can do for an upside-down-tongue-out-emoji
(Let me know when you’ve seen it so I can change back or everyone here will think I’m nuts!) ((And I’m not really crazy 😛 )) -

This thread has been quiet for four whole days!
A tough soldier who likes bubble baths (not completely my idea)
A bad guy (or girl) who just annoys people who mess up instead of killing them.
A waterfall that wants to settle down and become a quiet lake. (not sure where that one came from. Maybe the picture on my calendar).

I have a hard time creating distinct characters, especially MCs. But one thing which is fun to do, even if I don’t do it as much as I should (and this can go with both male and female characters) is to mix up traits that no one would ever think of together. Kind of like on the boiled potatoes from blue sky thread; have a bad guy who’s afraid of…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy. I find I ask myself (when I’m writing about girls) “what would I do in this situation?” Anna (Anna’s Savanna) and Tess (Princess Tess and the Perfect Story) are based on my views and opinions, and yet I still don’t feel like they are me. I don’t make them me, I just give them a few good ideas and then let them handle the rest.…[Read more]

I’d say sticking them with a strong personality (not strong as in “butch-chick” strong. More just consistent) is a starting point. It took me a while to get Jean working because I did a bit of a self insert at first and it took me a while to stumble my way out of that. But I worked out my second female MC’s personality first the next time and I…[Read more]

Oh hey @Rolena-Hatfield, we were posting at the same time! And oh yes, definitely interview your characters, I can’t tell you enough how helpful and ridiculously fun it is. 😀

w/o any good knowledge on this, I will proceed to ramble – not because I have stuff to say, but because I am wondering what I’ll say. I’m not sure. Maybe I’ll learn something from myself and then I’ll know it betterer.
I cannot tell you how many times I have done that. 😛
That test thing idea is a very good one— I may have to try that. Hm.…[Read more]

I know I love the widgets. One of them includes a Mailchimp popup, but I don’t normally like pop-ups on sites I visit, so I’m not going to us it…yet. ; )
I’m not sure how to create a landing page yet. That may be something I’ll need to upgrade for, but I won’t need one until summer. Can you tell me how you do it whenever you do make one, @Daeus.…[Read more]

Okay, so this is a kinda dumb problem for a GIRL to be having, but I really struggle sometimes to give my female protagonists distinct personalities without either making them too weak and helpless or too strong and overbearing.
I mean, I’ve been doing a LOT better with it lately (don’t ask me why, it’s just one of those things) but I’d still…[Read more] -

Never mind about the contact page; I figured that part out.
