The Bean

@the-bean I’m here! @jess Yay!

@the-bean I’m here!

@writefury Hmmm, I must not have very interesting people in my family. I’m not dying to put anyone else but Hans in.

@the-bean Sooooo, I made a mistake. Apparantly I am an extrovert cause I’m ENFP, but I really think I’m half and half. I’m not THAT outgoing.

@the-bean That sounds messy, but cool. I wish I could explode a stress ball. *sighs at my impossibly weak hands and arms*
@writefury -what is that picture you have as your avatar. It looks like Bad News pulling Wolfy’s jacket. Is it?
What I do for writer’s cramp is i sit on my hands. Weird, I know, but it somehow loosens up the muscles.

I’m going to be writing for the next hour @jess, @daeus, @the-bean, @Kate-flournoy if any of you are here.

@kate-flournoy @the-bean @daeus I’m going to writing most of the afternoon if anyone wants to join in. I want to write at least 2500 words and get my nano project done.

@The-Bean okay, that’s fine. Great. I got 1,002 words.

@Daeus that’s totally okay. @The-Bean are you continuing to 10:45?

@kate-flournoy @the-bean I’m gonna stop a little early. I felt pretty concentrated, but I only got 537 words written. I guess it’s gonna take me a while to get back to where I used to be.

@Daeus great. @The-Bean my novel.

@kate-flournoy @the-bean I’m in.

@The-Bean okay, awesome! Tag me when you stop, or if I stop before you do I’ll tag you.

@The-Bean I broke one of those stress balls once, too! Mine had gel inside. Colored gel. And I broke it on our couch, which was fantastic. Now I don’t play with those things anymore, because I always have a desire to pop them (it’s the same urge that makes me want to pop bubble wrap). @kate-flournoy, Silly putty is my go-to if I need to do…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy I know that you’re not exaggerating. I have just as many ideas or more.
@anne-of-lothlorien I would jump the fence, but hope NOT to get a broken arm. I’d do it for the exhileration. (Ah, what am I saying. I’m a dragon, I’ll just fly over the fence.)
I have based a character off of someone before… but that’s another long story.…[Read more]

@anne-of-lothlorien, yep, I do that. In my current book my MC has a 15 y-old brother who’s an inventor and explorer. He’s not intentionally based off my brothers who are around that age, but there are some strong similarities. Probably less personality wise than in other things, since my brothers are different form each other in that.

@the-bean So yah, I’m probably an introvert.

My family just arrived, so adios.

@The-Bean according to my observations, yes. But I don’t think it necessarily follows that one must be an introvert to be a writer. Introverts simply come to that more naturally. It’s a ‘safer’ way for them to make their voice heard.

@Anne-of-Lothlorien no, I don’t think I’ve ever based a character off a family member or someone I know. Just…[Read more]

@the-bean Um, maybe, if I knew what an introvert was? Does it have something to do with MBTI personalities?

@the-bean, yes, I would say a lot of writers are introverts.
@anne-of-lothlorien, Yes, I do that a lot! I’ll just take a few aspects (or maybe their looks) from someone I know and add a few quirks so it doesn’t look intentional. 😉 I’ve modeled a few characters after myself, and that always ends up interesting. 😛

@kate-flournoy This is kind of like, really cool to be on at the same time as someone else. It’s like I’m having a real conversation.

Everyone else, is there anyone in your family that you have based a character off of? My only one would be my cousin’s cousin, Hans, who is 15. He’s a guy who would try and jump a fence to see if he could and end…[Read more]
