Do you wait to figure out the psychology of the character during the writing, or do you graph that too?

Not exactly sure what you mean by that……..

(Sorry, I don’t really do technical names. I just do whatever I’m going to do. lol. If that makes sense.)

 

@whalekeeper XD I should have known.

He’s the only writing channel I’m subscribed to. He’s simultaneously hilarious and extremely helpful. I love it.

The 9 types videos he’s making are especially helpful.

Yessss. Those are the best. They’re really the only way I’ve been learning about the enneagram. When I first watched the type 7 video and i…[Read more]

@whalekeeper (three tags in a row I’m sorry I keep forgetting to add things)

Also, I would love to see your cope chart :] I struggle with organizing my written down stuff.

@whalekeeper Here’s the video where he explains how to use it.

I don’t agree with everything he talks about, but he understands story structure really well and is able to explain things really clearly and simply (to me at least)

Also he’s not Christian, I don’t remember if he cusses or not, in…[Read more]

@whalekeeper You might like this character sheet. It’s from a scriptwriting  YouTube channel that I really like.
I’ve been having a hard time with Ellie’s character so I’m trying it out

Hey, sorry it took a minute.

 

How detailed does that usually get?

Oh it depends. Sometimes I only have 4 or so points, and sometimes it’s close to 16. It just all depends on what points I know I need/want to hit.

 

What do you mean by graphing characters?

I have a sheet with the character’s name at the top. Then I add age,…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Not even my dad who’s a music major knew what that was lol, so we had to google it. That sounds like an interesting character

Just in case anyone is backing out because they don’t have animal characters, let me say: that’s okay.

 

You can create an animal character, or you can actually…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I do bullet points and make sure I know the key points, the beginning, climax, and end. Then I graph out my characters. Other then that, I don’t do too much planning as long as I have a solid plot idea in my head.

@hybridlore

Yes you are you little…. little…… I don’t know what you are.

Dangerous person.

 

@whalekeeper

Lol. I’m having a great day. Having a lot of fun plotting my next book and building character boards and aesthetics.

@whalekeeper Glad you’re enjoying it. (I’m this close! 🤏)

@ellette-giselle

Lol. I am? 🥲

@whalekeeper

She’s the first person to ever get me to reconsider killing a character.

@whalekeeper

lol, no problem

@whalekeeper

Oh, my bad, I forgot about Marcel. Let’s just say Flare picked him up, carried him, and placed him down near Ben.

@whalekeeper @jonas @loopylin @hybridlore @ellette-giselle @rae @grcr

Ben Gunn and Flare – Group 1, Everstrand edge

Flare and Ben looked at on another. They nodded. Off they went towards the river jumping roof over roof.

Ben felt tired, of course he’s tired, he’s old. I’m getting too old for this, Ben thought as he landed on a roof, catching h…[Read more]

Next chapter! I’ts been a while since I’ve done two chapters in one week, but I got excited by this one and put off some school. So here you go!

This is the chapter where my book will be redeemed in the eyes of Ellette, Ducktactor, and Stephie. I hope you’re all…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper

Good. I might still check with my sister to see what she thinks, but if you both like it, then I think I might go swap the ending.
