My chart is still in the works, but it includes the same nine types he discusses, I just rearrange a few things and summarize it quicker so I can glance at it for reference. And I’m constantly adding other things, stuff like the Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, other coping mechanisms/corresponding fears I’ve noticed in real life, etc. I’ll send you the complete thing once I figure out a few things I’m researching.

That’s my DUUUUUUDE, I listen to his videos every time they come out! He saved me from eternal confusion and I understand so much more than before. The 9 types videos he’s making are especially helpful. I definitely don’t agree with everything, and yeah he can make some crude jokes, but his method is definitely my brain wavelength because I can actually understand what he’s talking about. XD

I’m good! Honestly I had no idea it’s been this long, I guess time passes faster the older you get. 🙂
Hey, sorry it took a minute.
You’re good
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.
Right, you just outline anything you thought of up to that point.
Honestly it’s a bit of a struggle to think up events that aren’t just ‘gets attacked’ and ‘fights this guy to survive.’ XD For me, I’ve always critiqued my own originality. So I just try my best to make plot points unique to the character.
I have a sheet with the character’s name at the top. Then I add age, appearance, personality, family, weakness, strength, occupation, and any other key points I need to remember about said character.
Oh okay, I wasn’t sure what ‘graphing’ meant.
Do you wait to figure out the psychology of the character during the writing, or do you graph that too?
I use what I call my “cope chart,” which is kind of based on the Enneagram, but I adjusted it to my own interests. It’s pretty niche I guess, but I might post it in case it helps someone else.

I’m going to pass on this roleplay because I’m already in a few, but thank you for the tag! I’ll probably follow along with this for fun.

Hello! Hope you’ve been doing well <3
I’ve wanted this instrument for years. I’ll send you a picture of mine when I get it.
“Everything is a mountain”
Yeah, I do something similar, only on physical cards because it’s easier to visualize. How detailed does that usually get? What do you mean by graphing characters?
“Everything is a mountain”
Good 😂 Sounds like a lot of fun. I don’t do as many aesthetics as plotting boards, I think pretty much everyone on here makes aesthetics and it seems to be a huge motivator.
I’m cleaning because my aunt and her boyfriend are coming over, and my room is the guest space. Last week my truck driver grandpa slept in my pastel themed room with the fairy lights on, it was super funny. XD
How do you typically plot? Do you have a structure, or…? (This is my biggest point of curiosity)
“Everything is a mountain”
Haha
I vote give the character whichever ending highlights their unique story/perspective the most. For some characters, that’s a dramatic sacrifice. But there are lots of differences in characters, so I try to give each character their own ending, lol.
Ignoring that discussion (since I’m guessing you’re over your head in the critique section), how’s your day going? 😂

Also @ellette-giselle @hybridlore I just saw your character death intervention and I’m quite entertained by it. 😂 Y’all are feeding the #savethecharrie movement. People on here never change.
“Everything is a mountain”
This is a really random question and I doubt anyone will be able to answer it; does anyone have experience with theremins? And with purchasing one?
I’m buying one for my birthday and need to do a lot of research first. I once invented a character who plays it, and it’s always been a nostalgic instrument for me. :]

@jonas 👍
“Everything is a mountain”
That’s a pretty good addition to the scene! I don’t think that deviated from your story’s voice at all.
You’ll see. Then you will understand why other readers are mad at him. It wasn’t pretty.
Hehe, okay.
“Everything is a mountain”
even if it is his fault she was captured in the first place.
How did that happen exactly? Was it more of an ignorant blunder, or?
