Still putting it off

I've been finding excuses all week to get away from developing characters. Well, that's all going to change today. I am going to finish my characters!! :D I'm going to sit down at the computer, and not get off until I know EVERYTHING about all of my characters! Wish me luck, I'll need it.
Edit: It's killing me! I really want to go read the comics! Just 3 more characters. :| Almost there.

Procrastination

Yup. I'm doing it. I've been developing a character for over an HOUR! Almost done... Just 2 more questions! And then I can move on to Taren. *groans* One thing that writers won't tell you: There are some parts of writing that really, really suck. I mean, I love developing characters! In my mind... Getting it all down onto paper is a bit tedious. :P Well, I guess I'd better go get it all finished. *sighs* Tomorrow I'll start actually writing the story. YAY! :) Also, below is a nifty form I use for developing characters. If you want to use it, go ahead!

First Post

Hey there! I'm Marissa, but you can call me Missy. :D I don't normally go by Missy, but, well, it's a long story. :) I made this blog to post my insights on writing, and the writing process. I am currently just barely starting a new book, and I plan to finish this one all the way through. I have my basic plot line, and I'm going to plot it out and develop characters right now. :D Yay! I'd love it if you followed me, and PLEASE comment! I love comments. :) Anyway, here's my blog. I hope you enjoy. :)
