@catwing Oh, and this is actually the seventh part, so do you mind if I call it that on the Compendium? 🙂

@catwing Wow. Nice twist, having your own characters enter the Kingdom of Pen.
It was just supposed to be a fun Christmas present for everyone, but now it’s chaos.
Chaos, yes, but funny, unique, kapeefer-level chaos. 😉 That’s why it’s so fun.

I love Daeus’s Turtles!
Well, sort of left. In reality, he walked about ten feet and opened up his book again. I watched as the turtles began to slowly follow.
😀 😀
My family thinks I’m crazy. My sister says, “What are you laughing about?” and I say, “Daeus’s turtles,” and she’s like, “Oh. Okay….”

Ooo, interesting topic, @dekreel.
I want to expand a bit on something @notawriter said – often bullying comes from family life. I know this firsthand; I know many small children who are bullies in some way. They usually act differently around adults, or at church, if they go. But family problems is a huge thing, especially if it is the father (and…[Read more] -

I think the others have already given some very good responses so these are just my two cents:
#1: Think of other reasons for your bully to torment people apart from the cliche weakness, jealous or insecurity. For example, some usually nice people that I know unintentionally become bullies when a new person intrudes on the comfortable…[Read more]

@dekreel I agree with @sam-kowal on the motives of a bully.
For a not-cliched bully, here are some ideas:
- The bully is actually very intelligent and uses that fact to bully others (maybe his parents think he should stop reading and such all the time and learn how to do something “useful” instead, so he bullies less intelligent kids to make him…

*appears out of nowhere*
Greetings, Kapeefers! I’m going to peak my head out of my hiatus for a second to ask some questions:
In my children’s books, I have a school bully, and lately I have been considering giving him a bigger part of my books. So my questions are: What are the motives of a bully? What are the literary cliches of a bully? And…[Read more]

@celticcailin Hi! I love music, but I don’t write lyrics (I play cajon.)
I think @dekreel , @sam-kowal , and @alia write songs, though. (Tell me if I’m wrong, guys!)
Good luck on your music!

valtmy replied to the topic Character Development Methods in the forum Characters 6 years, 7 months ago
My rule of thumb is that main characters should be both bright and deep. “Bright” as in they have some qualities that you (and hopefully your readers) find interesting (note: this is not the same as likable or attractive). “Deep” means that these traits come from a source (the characters’ past or background) that should at least be…[Read more]
