Mostly intuition and mostly as I go. When I first make a character, I get a feel for them. It’s not really a set definition of who they are, it’s more about how they make me feel. When I’m writing them in a scene, I try to bring out that feeling in concrete character qualities. Sometimes I emphasise character qualities I have already…[Read more]

Yep, well there it is! 😉 And I’ll be happy to answer any further questions you have, of course, provided I KNOW the answers. 😉 😀
I just figured you should see if any of your questions had already been answered before we went over it again. 😛

@gretald

Honestly, I don’t develop my character’s that way. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad. If you like to ask questions though, try these:
Does this character keep tend to keep their thought to themselves, or express them openly?
How do their general life circumstances affect their disposition?
How do they respond to praise?
How do they…[Read more]

Allow me to redirect you. 🙂 To that place in the link right there. 🙂

Oh! And Zar’roc, if you remember it— Brom’s sword from ‘Eragon’. Pretty cool.

Sting. Anduril. Excalibur. Orcrist. Glamdring.

Mirlon. Navrilnon.

Just kidding about those last two— they’re mine. 😉 😛

I’ll let you know if I think of any more.

Wow, nothing but the whole nine yards for your work, eh Chloe?

And I must say that’s quite a bit of… fandomness! 😉 I’m a Hobbit/LotR fangirl as well. And the Princess Bride! Love that movie!
I’m afraid my list of fandoms is not nearly so impressive as yours, but I think that’s because I’m too picky for my own good… 😛 😉

Oh no! Not an English kid!

😉

Actually no, there’s nothing wrong with being an English kid. In fact, it gives you a significant advantage over… people like me.

I still hate English with every bone in my body. 😛

But a love for English is a very good way to start off your career.

Wow! I posted, and your nose doesn’t look like a carrot anymore! It looks like… I’m not quite sure what kind of flower that is. 😛

Uh… is that you, @bluejay? What… um… happened to your nose? It looks like… a carrot. 😉

Actually, allow me to redirect you to this sweet little page right here in this link.

I’ll be perfectly happy to answer any questions you still have after wading through… all that. 😉

But I’d rather not repeat myself twice, ya know what I…[Read more]

Hey Ingrid, welcome to KP!

*sigh* That’s such a cliche opening line.

Anyway. 😉 I love acting, writing, reading, and singing as well, and am a second oldest child too! Except second oldest of ten kids, not five… 😉

We have a lot in common. 😀

What got you started writing novels?

Hi Ingrid. I feel like I should say something witty, but this is good enough. :):):):):)

Welcome to the forum! What kind of fantasy do you like to write? Like medieval fantasy, or like… really weird… impossible… awesomeness with world hopping and portals and time jumping? I think I write a mix of both, though I tend to lean heavily towards realism… 😉

@zoe-wingfeather— cool. 😀

And sorry— I didn’t catch the reference…[Read more]

Hello
Hi
Great to have you
I like the punctuated thinking

It is totally an excellent brain exercise, @bluejay. Do it. 😉

And thanks @levipierpont! That’s really cool— I hadn’t thought about giving them physical limitations that extend to the entire race. That’s really… I hadn’t thought about it. 😀

@bluejay voting is actually super easy. All you have to do is look at a candidate’s voting record. If they have consistently voted with what you agree, vote for them. If their voting is more then just ever so slightly inconsistent, don’t. If they say something contrary to their voting record, ignore them completely. If the candidate you like…[Read more]

Yeah, he has the best run campaign of any candidate period.

I’m really sad, cause I have to vote this year. *Oh bother!*

@bluejay what!? You lucky thing! I would give just about anything to be old enough to vote this election cycle. It’s a privilege, my dear girl! A PRIVILEGE! 😀

Actually, I would say Ted Cruz is doing pretty amazing right now even if he is just a little behind Trump. Even if he loses, what he’s already done is practically a miracle. Never has such a pure conservative done so well – almost ever.

This. So much this. It makes me so happy, actually, @Daeus.

And here’s a piece of positive news— my dad…[Read more]
